The Laowa Nanomorph S35 Zoom 2-Lens Bundle pairs the 28-55mm and 50-100mm anamorphic zooms optimized for Super 35 sensors. These lenses deliver a 1.5X anamorphic squeeze and maintain a constant T2.9 aperture across the zoom ranges. As a result, you get consistent exposure, cinematic widescreen imagery, and reliable performance for a variety of production scenarios.
These zooms produce classic anamorphic traits while keeping practical control for professional shoots. They render smooth elliptical bokeh and natural focus roll-off. In addition, the lenses produce distinctive anamorphic flares, available in three selectable styles to suit different looks.
Because the aperture stays at T2.9 across the zoom range, you maintain consistent brightness when you zoom. This supports low-light shooting and gives you predictable depth-of-field control. Moreover, the parfocal design keeps subjects in focus during zooms, enabling smooth zoom transitions without losing sharpness.
The lenses ship in Arri PL mount. They also feature a swappable lens mount system to increase compatibility across camera platforms. Furthermore, Laowa offers a 1.33X front-mounted adapter that lets you convert the native 1.5X squeeze into a full 2X anamorphic squeeze when you need that wider cinematic aspect ratio.
Each lens uses a compact 77mm front filter thread. Consequently, you can attach filters and accessories without routinely resorting to large matte boxes. The smaller front thread and compact construction also assist when you work handheld or on stabilizers.
Choose from three flare styles to match your creative intent:
These front-flare options let you dial in a specific anamorphic character without altering the optical core of the lenses.
Laowa engineered the Nanomorph zooms to be compact and lightweight while still offering precision optics. They limit distortion and chromatic aberration and keep edge-to-edge sharpness. The result is a pair of lenses suitable for handheld shooting, gimbals, and full cine rigs, all while offering cine-style focus and aperture rings for professional workflows.
