Lens Overview — Venus Optics 20mm T2.2 1.5x MFT

The Venus Optics Nanomorph 20mm T2.2 Anamorphic Lens is a manual-focus prime lens designed for the PL Mount, targeting Super 35 format cinema cameras. With a fixed focal length of 20mm and a maximum aperture of T2.2, this lens sits firmly in wide-angle territory, making it well-suited for expansive environmental shots, tight interiors, and dramatic establishing frames. As an anamorphic lens, it brings that distinctive cinematic character sought after in narrative and commercial filmmaking.

The lens is built for mirrorless camera systems and uses a 55mm filter thread, making it straightforward to pair with standard matte boxes or filter systems. Weighing in at just 304 grams, the Nanomorph 20mm is notably compact for a cinema-grade anamorphic prime, which can be a real advantage on handheld or gimbal rigs where weight balance matters. Image stabilization is not included, which is typical for manual cinema glass where stabilization is generally handled by the rig or camera body.

Focus is entirely manual, consistent with professional cinema workflows that rely on dedicated focus pullers. The PL mount connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional cinema cameras built around the Super 35 format standard.
