The Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 Cine Lens is a professional all-in-one cinema zoom designed specifically for Super35 cameras. It delivers a versatile 4× zoom range and a constant T2.9 aperture, providing consistent exposure and cinematic depth-of-field control across the zoom. Filmmakers can rely on its optical performance and manual control for narrative filmmaking, commercials, documentaries, and other high-end video production.
Use this lens when you need flexibility on set. Its 25–100mm range covers wide to medium-telephoto perspectives without changing lenses. Consequently, you save time during shoots and maintain visual consistency. Additionally, the parfocal design and near-zero focus breathing support complex shots, such as long takes and rack-focus moves, which are common in narrative and commercial work.
The OOOM keeps subjects sharp while zooming thanks to its parfocal optical design. Furthermore, its advanced optical construction—composed of 20 elements in 16 groups—aims to deliver high resolution and natural color rendition while reducing distortion. Also, the lens’s larger-than-standard image circle provides additional flexibility; it is designed for Super35 coverage but is capable of covering certain full-frame formats when using specific sensors or shooting modes.
This cine lens integrates industry-standard control features for professional workflows. It includes 0.8 mod geared rings on focus, zoom, and aperture, so you can attach follow-focus systems and other cinema accessories with ease. The long 270° focus throw enables precise focus pulls, while near-zero focus breathing minimizes image shift during focus adjustments for a true cinematic look.
The Laowa OOOM uses an interchangeable mount system and comes with a PL mount attached to the lens. It also includes additional mounts for broader camera compatibility. Moreover, the lens features a robust all-metal construction that suits demanding production environments and frequent rigging on professional cinema setups.
