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

Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100 mm T2.9 1.5× S35 PL — Silver Flare delivers a rare blend of agility and pure anamorphic character for modern Super 35 cameras. The compact 186 mm barrel accommodates 20 elements in 14 groups, projecting a crisp 31.5 mm circle that covers every S35 sensor while holding a constant 1.5× squeeze throughout the full 50-100 mm range. Horizontal field shifts from 33.6° to 17.2°, allowing tight portrait compression without cropping the trademark oval bokeh.

A fast, uniform T2.9 iris with nine blades preserves illumination when the zoom glides from 50 mm to 100 mm, and the parfocal optical path locks focus so rack-zooms land with zero breathing. Cine gears cut at 0.8 MOD grant seamless linkage to FIZ motors; travel is generous—270° focus, 100° zoom, 41° iris—for granular pulls on studio builds or gimbal rigs. Dual scales in metres and feet aid multi-crew sets, and the native PL mount can be swapped to E, RF, Z, X or L in minutes, keeping rental fleets fluid.

Silver coating moderates streak flare, mirroring the scene’s colour temperature instead of tinting it blue or amber, ideal for broadcast skin tones and VFX plate neutrality. The short 0.80 m minimum focus (1.5 kg balance) frees operators to push close on steadicams, car mounts or drones, while a modest 77 mm filter thread takes ND or diopters without a 4×5.65 matte box.

Pair this zoom with Laowa’s 28-55 mm for an uninterrupted 28-100 mm / 3.6× anamorphic toolkit. Add the optional 1.33× front adapter to achieve a full 2× squeeze for classic 2.39:1 delivery on 4:3 sensors—no “mumps”, no sideline cropping. Built for crews that measure shots in millimetres, not marketing slogans, the Nanomorph Zoom becomes a precision instrument that slots into any pro workflow yet leaves a signature every cinema client can recognise.
