Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100mm T2.9 1.5X S35 (Amber) — Arri PL mount with 1.5X anamorphic squeeze for Super 35

The Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100mm T2.9 1.5X S35 in Amber is a professional anamorphic zoom lens built for Super 35 cinematography. This Arri PL mount variant delivers the optical character of a 1.5X squeeze while keeping a constant T2.9 aperture across the zoom range. Filmmakers will find the lens suited to narrative films, commercials, music videos and other high-end productions that require cinematic depth and anamorphic character.

Key optical characteristics

The lens provides a 1.5X anamorphic squeeze, creating a cinematic widescreen aspect while maintaining a natural perspective. A constant T2.9 aperture ensures consistent brightness at all focal lengths, which helps with exposure continuity during zooms and supports controlled depth-of-field and low-light shooting. The parfocal design keeps subjects in focus throughout the zoom range, enabling smooth zoom transitions without losing sharpness.

Signature anamorphic look

This Amber flare option emphasizes warm, vintage-inspired flares and color cast. The Nanomorph Zoom produces smooth elliptical bokeh and organic focus roll-off, delivering the classic anamorphic aesthetic. Additionally, the lens offers distinctive anamorphic flares that contribute to its cinematic character.

Design and build

• Compact 77mm front filter thread — attach filters and accessories easily without large matte boxes.
• Compact and lightweight construction — designed for handheld shooting, gimbal work and professional cine rigs.
• Cine-style focus and aperture rings — built for professional cinematography and repeatable set-ups.
• Precision optical design — engineered to minimize distortion and chromatic aberration while aiming to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness.

Compatibility and expandability

The lens features a swappable lens mount system for multi-camera compatibility; this specific listing is the Arri PL mount version. You can also add a 1.33X front-mounted adapter (available separately) to achieve a full 2X anamorphic squeeze, expanding your creative options for wider aspect ratios.

Where this lens excels

Use this zoom for productions that require anamorphic visuals and flexible framing. Its 50–100mm zoom range makes it a versatile choice for medium telephoto coverage on Super 35 cameras.
