Compact Anamorphic Zoom
Measuring just 7.3" in length and weighing around 3.3 lb, the compact Laowa Nanomorph 50-100mm T2.9 1.5x S35 Anamorphic Zoom from Venus Optics covers Super 35 sensors and is ideal for car rigs, stabilizer use, and shoulder rigs. When combined with the separately available 28-55mm zoom, the two lenses provide a wide, versatile 28-100mm total range and an almost 3.6x zoom ratio. Zoom features include silver flares, focus marks in both feet and meters, 0.8 MOD cine gears on focus, iris, and zoom rings, and a 77mm front filter thread.
Constant 1.5x Squeeze Ratio
Thanks to its unique anamorphic design, this Nanomorph zoom lens provides a consistent 1.5x squeeze ratio, regardless of the focusing distance.
Constant T2.9 Aperture
The Nanomorph zoom series maintains a T2.9 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range, ensuring optimal exposure even in challenging lighting conditions.
Minimal Aberration
The Nanomorph zoom lenses offer superior optical performance without distracting color fringing, even when shooting at the maximum T2.9 aperture.
Parfocal Design
This lens maintains focus even while zooming, enabling more accurate focusing at maximum focal length. This convenient feature enables cinematographers to zoom back to a shorter focal length to compose the image effectively while maintaining focus.
Artistic Oval Bokeh
A 1.5x squeeze ratio also renders an oval bokeh that gives an artistic touch to the image. It also creates a blurry and creamy background that pops out the subject. The organic focus roll-off creates a cinematic look in demand by filmmakers.
Silver Anamorphic Flare Color
Flare effects in silver create a more neutral look that can be adjusted according to the color of the light source for greater versatility.
Short Focus Distance
The relatively short 31.5" close focus distance and T2.9 aperture create a shallower depth of field, with a stronger sense of compression and organic, oval-shaped bokeh.
ARRI PL Mount
The Nanomorph zoom series includes a native ARRI PL mount that can be swapped out with separately available interchangeable Canon RF, Fuji X, Nikon Z, Sony E, and L mounts.
Optional 1.33x Adapter
Use this Nanomorph zoom with the separately available 1.33x front-mounted adapter to obtain a 2x squeeze ratio that increases its versatility across different sensors and shooting formats.
77mm Filter Thread
A 77mm filter can be attached directly to the lens for a variety of handy setups. The small diameter is favorable when doing run-and-gun shots or utilizing it with an aerial drone.
Dual Focus Scales
Focus marks are printed on the lens body in both feet and meters.
0.8 MOD Gears
Industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears are installed on the focus, iris, and zoom rings.
