The Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 Cine Lens delivers a flexible 4× zoom range with a constant T2.9 aperture, built specifically for Super35 cinema cameras. It targets filmmakers who need consistent exposure and manual control across a versatile focal range. With parfocal behavior and near-zero focus breathing, the lens keeps images stable and in focus during zooms and focus pulls.
The lens provides full coverage for Super35 sensors while offering a larger-than-standard image circle. Consequently, filmmakers gain extra flexibility and the potential to cover some full-frame formats when using certain sensors or shooting modes. This makes the lens practical for narrative filmmaking, commercials, documentaries, and other high-end video productions that rely on Super35 systems.
Laowa engineered the OOOM with an advanced optical construction to preserve image quality throughout the zoom range. The lens uses 20 elements in 16 groups to deliver high resolution, natural color rendition, and minimal distortion. Because it is parfocal, the lens maintains sharp focus while zooming, which is essential for professional video work where focus must remain constant during reframing.
The OOOM includes industry-standard cine gearing and a long focus throw for precise manual operation. Specifically, it uses 0.8 mod geared rings on focus, zoom, and aperture to integrate cleanly with follow-focus systems and other cinema accessories. The focus ring provides a 270° throw, allowing fine, accurate focus pulls that cinematographers rely on for controlled, repeatable results.
Laowa designed the lens to exhibit near-zero focus breathing, which minimizes image shifting during focus adjustments and supports a true cinematic look. Furthermore, the lens features a robust all-metal construction to withstand rigorous production environments. The interchangeable mount system increases compatibility with multiple camera platforms.

question: Will the lens cover full-frame sensors?
Answer: The Laowa OOOM is designed to provide full coverage for Super35 sensors and uses a larger-than-standard image circle. In some cases, and when paired with specific sensors or shooting modes, it can cover certain full-frame formats. Exact coverage depends on the camera sensor and mode.
question: Does the lens hold focus while zooming?
Answer: Yes. The lens features a parfocal optical design, which keeps subjects in focus during zooming. This behavior supports professional workflows that require stable focus while reframing.
question: How suitable is this lens for follow-focus systems?
Answer: Very suitable. The lens uses industry-standard 0.8 mod gears on focus, zoom, and aperture, and it offers a long 270° focus throw for precise, repeatable focus pulls with follow-focus units.
question: What accessories are included in the package?
Answer: The bundle includes the Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 Cine Lens, front and rear lens caps, interchangeable lens mounts, a lens support bracket, and a protective lens case so you can mount and protect the lens on set.
question: Is the lens built for professional production environments?
Answer: Yes. The lens features robust all-metal construction and a design that supports demanding production use, offering reliable mechanical performance and cinema-standard control options.
