Laowa has launched their Indiegogo campaign for the new Laowa Nanomorph ZOOM anamorphic series, consisting of two T2.9 constant aperture lenses, a 28-55mm and a 50-100mm. 

Laowa, which not long ago launched their Ranger series, is back now with an exciting set of anamorphic zoom lenses. We were able to take a look at them at the BSC Expo 2024, as you can read in this article. Now, the crowdfunding campaign is live on Indiegogo, which you can see by following this link.

Compact, lightweight, and affordable anamorphic zoom lenses

The Laowa Nanomorph ZOOM Anamorphic lenses are lightweight (~3.31 lbs/~1.5kg) and feature a zoom range of up to 3.6x, a 1.5X squeeze ratio, and a short closest focusing distance of up to 1’5″ (45cm), perfect for tight spaces or product shootings, for example. They are available in three flare options (amber, blue, and silver). 

The Nanomorph ZOOM Anamorphics fit S35 sensors and are a versatile option that covers a wide range of focal lengths with only two lenses. With focal lengths ranging from 28mm to 100mm and a maximum aperture of T2.9, these two lenses provide a compact solution for time-sensitive shoots, eliminating the need for activities like follow focus or gimbal recalibrations.

Featuring a parfocal design, the lenses have a Ø31.9mm image circle. Starting from 65mm, we can use them on full-frame cameras, although some vignetting may occur. Finally, both lenses feature a 77mm filter thread, lens support for added stability, a 270° focus throw, and a 100º zoom throw.

Pricing and availability

The Laowa Nanomorph ZOOM Indiegogo campaign is now live from March 1st to April 11th with exclusive deals and perks in the different categories, with discounts from 5% to 30% on both the single Nanomorph ZOOM and the 2-lens set. There is a special crowdfunding perk where one of the backers will acquire a Nanomorph ZOOM lens in PL mount for $1. 

At the end of every crowdfunding-related article, we remind you to be aware of the risks when backing a project on a crowdfunding platform. Also, please read the platform’s use, and remember there can be significant delays when delivering the product. Some projects don’t get delivered at all. That said, Laowa is an established and trustworthy company in our industry.
