Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 PL Cine Zoom

Laowa OOOM 25-100 mm T2.9 PL Cine Zoom delivers a four-to-one field of view in a single barrel. Its 25 mm wide end frames the establishing shot, the 100 mm tele end isolates detail, and the constant T2.9 transmission keeps lighting ratios intact throughout the move. With a 33 mm image circle, the lens fully covers modern Super 35 sensors such as RED HELIUM 8 K, GEMINI 5 K and ARRI ALEXA Mini 4 K, leaving safe margins for open-gate capture. A PL bayonet is pre-installed, while EF or E mounts slot in without shimming—ideal for cross-platform crews.

Internally, 20 elements in 16 groups marry high resolution with a gentle, “vintage” warmth. The optical block is parfocal, so focus stays locked as you ride the 163° zoom throw. Focus rotation spans 300° on standard 0.8 MOD gears, enabling precise wireless pulls, and focus breathing is almost invisible, keeping composition rock-steady during critical racks while colour remains uniform across the range.

Operational numbers tell the rest of the story: minimum focus 60 cm, nine-blade iris (T2.9–T22), 95 mm filter thread, 100 mm front diameter with a 95-to-114 mm step-up ring, length 24 cm and weight 2.5 kg. Engraved metric/imperial scales, internal focusing for steady balance, and a removable 1/4-inch support foot for 15 mm LWS rails round out a housing milled from hard-anodised aluminium—ready for daily location work.

For documentary, multi-camera streaming, factual TV or commercial production, Laowa OOOM 25-100 mm T2.9 offers the core toolset—parfocal 4× zoom, near-zero breathing, Super 35+ coverage, 300° focus scale and convertible mounts—so crews shoot faster, colourists grade more consistently and producers invest in one lens instead of a bag of primes.
