Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100mm T2.9 1.5X S35 (Silver) — Arri PL: 1.5X Anamorphic Zoom with Constant T2.9

The Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100mm T2.9 1.5X S35 (Silver) in Arri PL is a professional anamorphic zoom lens built for Super 35 cinematography. It delivers a 1.5X anamorphic squeeze and a constant T2.9 aperture across the zoom range, providing a consistent exposure and reliable depth-of-field control for narrative, commercial, and music-video productions.

Key optical characteristics

The lens produces signature anamorphic traits, including smooth elliptical bokeh, organic focus roll-off, and distinctive anamorphic flares. Its precision optical construction aims to minimize distortion and chromatic aberration while maintaining edge-to-edge sharpness. As a parfocal lens, it keeps subjects in focus while you zoom, enabling smooth transitions without losing sharpness.

Design, usability and compatibility

This model is available in the silver flare option and comes with an Arri PL mount on this variant. Additionally, the design supports a swappable lens mount system, so the lens can adapt to multiple camera platforms when different mounts are fitted. A compact 77mm front filter thread lets you attach filters and accessories without requiring large matte boxes, which simplifies handheld and gimbal setups.

Creative expansion with adapters and flare options

Filmmakers can expand the anamorphic squeeze further with a 1.33X front-mounted adapter, which is available to achieve a full 2X anamorphic squeeze when needed. The Nanomorph Zoom is offered in three flare styles—blue, silver, and amber—so you can choose the flare character that best suits your project. The silver option on this variant provides a neutral and versatile flare signature.

Intended applications

Use this lens for narrative films, commercials, music videos, and other high-end productions that require cinematic depth and anamorphic character. Its compact, lightweight construction and cine-style focus and aperture rings make it suitable for handheld shooting, gimbals, and professional cine rigs where mobility and cinematic aesthetics matter.
