Venus Optics Just Took Anamorphic Lenses to the Nano Scale

Venus Optics has never feared making unique and weird lenses. Now it’s tackling anamorphic glass!

The first lens to come out of Venus Optics was a 60mm f/2.8 2 x Ultra Macro, a full-frame lens with a 2:1 magnification factor. What made it unique at the time was that it focused to infinity.

Then the mad lads from China tackled wide lenses with near-zero distortion with their Zero-D line. Following that, they set their eyes on super fast glass with f/0.95 and a killer zoom lens.

But there was one lens design that Venus Optics hasn’t tackled yet—anamorphic.

Today, that all changes with the release of the Venus Optics Laowa Nanomorph series. Check it out.

Tiny Lenses, Big Character

The Laowa Nanomorphs from Venus Optics include the 27mm T2.8, a 35mm T2.4, and a 50mm T2.4 with a 1.5x constant squeeze ratio.

And these things are tiny. If you thought the Sirui anamorphic lenses were small, you’re in for a surprise. Now you can finally give your gimbal footage a real anamorphic look.
