Versatile Zoom Range

Spanning a versatile 40mm to 135mm, the Laowa Sunlight Series empowers filmmakers to adapt to a vast range of creative needs. With a over 3x zoom range combined, these lenses effortlessly transition from capturing breathtaking wide landscapes to framing intimate close-up portraits. This unprecedented flexibility eliminates the need for frequent lens swaps, streamlining workflows on set and allowing filmmakers to focus on capturing the perfect moment.

Parfocal Design

The Laowa Sunlight Series features a carefully calibrated parfocal design, guaranteeing that focus remains consistent throughout the entire zoom range. This crucial feature enables filmmakers to execute dynamic shots with confidence, from impactful crash-zooms to gliding dolly zooms, without the interruption of refocusing. This empowers filmmakers to enhance their creative storytelling and captivate their audience.

Maximum T4.5 Aperture

SUNLIGHT Zoom features a maximum aperture of T4.5, providing excellent low-light performance and depth of field control, allowing you to shoot with high image quality even in dimly-lit environments.

Constant 2X Squeeze

Achieving a consistent, classic widescreen look is effortless with the Sunlight Series' constant 2x squeeze. This ensures that the distinct anamorphic character is maintained across the entire focal range, eliminating unwanted distortions and providing filmmakers with a reliably cinematic image, every time.

Dreamy Oval Bokeh

The Laowa Sunlight Series elevates cinematic artistry with its captivating oval bokeh, a hallmark of true anamorphic lenses. Enhanced by the precise 2x squeeze ratio and meticulous optical design, this distinctive bokeh effect renders out-of-focus highlights into elongated, elliptical forms, creating a dreamy, organic depth that draws viewers into the heart of the scene. This immersive quality adds a touch of magic, transforming ordinary shots into visually stunning experiences.

Charming Clear Flare

In addition to blue, amber, and silver glare versions, a new clear flare is also included.

Even with strong point light sources, there's no noticeable glare, resulting in a cleaner, more elegant image.

Extremely Close Focusing Distance

The Laowa Sunlight Series invites viewers into the heart of the story with exceptional close-focus capabilities. With a minimum focusing distance of just 0.61m (40-80mm) or 0.78m (70-135mm), these lenses empower filmmakers to capture sharp, immersive close-up shots with remarkable detail. This capability enhances storytelling in tight or intimate setups, allowing audiences to connect with the characters and emotions on a deeper level.
