The series delivers a unique blend of versatility and creative expression, and a host of other anamorphic features that will transport your audience into the story.
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.
4 Cinematic Flare Options
The Laowa Sunlight Series empowers filmmakers with unparalleled control over their visual storytelling through its innovative 4 Cinematic Flare Options. Choose from classic sci-fi blue for a futuristic feel, warm amber to evoke nostalgia, adaptable silver for dynamic color play, or elegant clear for pristine light transmission. The intuitive lens flare ring clearly indicates the selected color, ensuring effortless creative adjustments on set.
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.
Organic Focus Roll-off
The Laowa Sunlight Series introduces a mesmerizing organic focus roll-off, a subtle yet powerful element that heightens the cinematic experience. The smooth, gradual transitions from sharp focus to beautifully blurred areas create a natural shallow depth of field, enhancing the aesthetic appeal. This, combined with the distinct elliptical bokeh, adds a touch of elegance to every frame, enveloping the viewer in a world of visual richness.
Versatile Zoom Range
Spanning a versatile 70mm 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
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.
Minimum Focus Breathing
The Laowa Sunlight Series is engineered with minimal focus breathing, ensuring a stable and consistent frame composition, even during dramatic focus pulls. This eliminates distracting shifts in field of view, allowing filmmakers to maintain precise control over their visual narrative and create seamless transitions. The result keeps audiences engaged in the story, particularly during dynamic scenes where composition consistency is critical.
Close Minimum 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.
