Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100mm T2.9 1.5X Anamorphic S35 (Amber) PL

Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100 mm T2.9 1.5× Anamorphic S35 (Amber) PL empowers cinematographers who need compact optics without sacrificing expressive scope. Covering a Ø31.5 mm Super 35 image circle, the lens stretches 50-100 mm into a continuous cinematic canvas while maintaining a constant 1.5× squeeze and T2.9 light transmission across the entire throw. Warm amber flare subtly bathes highlights, giving narrative pieces a vintage hue straight out of camera.

Inside the slim 186.5 mm barrel a 20-element/14-group structure, multicoated to tame ghosting, works with a 11-blade iris to sculpt oval bokeh and smooth focus roll-off. The design is parfocal; subjects stay locked even when the 1.96× zoom ring travels, letting operators rack without hunting. Horizontal angle of view shifts from 33.6° to 17.2°, compressing foreground-background relations for tight portraits or layered landscapes. Minimum object distance is only 0.80 m, enabling close-up anamorphic texture that was once the domain of primes.

Every ring carries industry-standard 0.8 MOD cine gears: focus rotates 270°, zoom 100°, iris 41°. A 77 mm front filter thread accepts ND or diopters, and the front diameter stays at 80 mm for clip-on matte boxes. At only 1.5 kg the lens balances gimbals, car mounts and handheld rigs; its PL mount can be swapped for RF, E, L, Z or X bayonets to match multicam fleets. Pair it with the 28-55 mm Nanomorph to span 28-100 mm or fit the optional 1.33× front adapter for a 2× squeeze on larger sensors.

Whether you shoot episodic drama, live multicam concerts or commercial VFX plates, Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100 mm delivers repeatable mechanics, restrained chromatic aberration and an unmistakable anamorphic personality—without the bulk normally tied to cinema zooms. Focusing is internal so length never shifts during pulls.
