Laowa Nanomorph Zoom 50-100mm T2.9 1.5x S35 Lens - Blue Flare

The primary difference is the integrated blue flare effect, which provides a specific aesthetic. It also features a constant 1.5x squeeze ratio and constant T2.9 aperture across the zoom range.

You will need editing software that supports anamorphic de-squeezing. Most professional editing suites like Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve can handle this.

While you can physically mount it via an adapter (if available), the lens is designed for Super 35 sensors. Using it on a full-frame camera will result in heavy vignetting or require significant cropping, negating the full image circle.

The oval bokeh is a characteristic of anamorphic lenses. It is most pronounced when shooting at wider apertures and with subjects at a distance, allowing the out-of-focus points of light to stretch horizontally.

No, the blue flare effect is a fixed characteristic of this specific lens model and is not adjustable or removable. It appears when light sources are positioned correctly.

Consult the official Laowa specifications for the precise minimum focusing distance, as it can vary slightly depending on the exact focal length within the zoom range.

Yes, the lens features manual aperture control, allowing you to adjust the T-stop for exposure and depth of field.

Verify that your camera has an ARRI PL mount and that there are no obstructions on either the lens or camera mount.

This is expected behavior before de-squeezing in post-production. Ensure your editing software is set to de-squeeze anamorphic footage.

Confirm the lens is parfocal and that focus was set correctly at the desired focal length. Re-focus if necessary.

The blue flare is a result of light hitting the lens elements at an angle. Ensure there is a direct light source within the frame that can trigger the flare.
