Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 28-55 mm T2.9 1.5× Anamorphic S35 (Amber) PL injects a bold widescreen voice into Super 35 productions without weighing down the rig. The constant 1.5× squeeze stretches a 16:9 sensor to an elegant 2.66:1 canvas, forming warm amber flares that trace practicals with a butter-gold streak. Behind the look sits a parfocal core: skate from 28 mm to 55 mm and focus stays locked, preserving critical sharpness for VFX pulls and live cuts. Oval bokeh swells naturally thanks to a 9-blade iris and minimal breathing, keeping eyes on the talent, not the glass.
The optical block of 21 elements in 15 groups holds aberrations in check while a constant T2.9 maintains exposure across the 1.96× zoom sweep. Coverage of a 31.5 mm image circle secures edge-to-edge acuity, while the horizontal field of view spans 56.7–30.7 ° on S35, translating into seamless A-cam/B-cam parity. Close-focus at 0.45 m / 17.7″ lets operators dive into inserts without diopters, amplifying spatial compression at full squeeze.
Mechanical discipline matches the optics. Independent focus (270 °), zoom (100 °) and iris (41 °) rings carry 0.8 MOD gears with dual metric/imperial scales, aligning instantly with FIZ motors or remote hand units. A standard 77 mm front thread supports ND or diffusion filters when matte boxes are impractical; the internal-focus design prevents balance shift on gimbals and drones. The PL bayonet is user-swappable for E, RF, L, Z or X mounts, protecting your investment across multiple camera ecosystems.
Compactness seals the deal: only 18.8 cm long, 84.8 mm across and 1.51 kg, it is the lightest front-anamorphic zoom in its class. Pair it with the 50-100 mm sister lens for uninterrupted 28-100 mm coverage, or fit the optional 1.33× front adapter to push the squeeze to 2× for full-frame capture. From commercials and episodic drama to multi-camera streaming, this lens folds premium anamorphic language into tight crews, fast moves and real-world budgets.
