The ideal choice for filmmakers

The Venus Optics Laowa 100 mm T2.9 Cine Macro APO lens for Arri PL was developed specifically with video makers in mind. The focus and aperture rings are equipped with 0.8 MOD gears, which are compatible with popular follow focus systems. The manufacturer has also taken care of stepless adjustment. Thanks to it, you can smoothly and soundlessly change the aperture value while capturing shots. There is also a special mounting point with a 3/8 thread to connect the lens to the support.

Cinematic background blur

Fully opening the aperture to T2.9 will produce a shallow depth of field. This will achieve a beautiful background blur that will give your productions a professional film look. You will be able to highlight the main subject of the frame and achieve the desired effect, even when the amount of ambient light is limited. In addition, the 13-blade aperture will provide beautiful circular bokeh in the place of points of light such as lanterns or colored lights.

Apochromatic optics

The apochromatic optical system offered by the Venus Optics Laowa 100 mm T2.9 Cine Macro APO to Arri PL lens is formed by 12 elements arranged in 10 groups. Thoughtful design has made it possible to almost completely eliminate the occurrence of bothersome chromatic aberrations. As a result, your films will stand out with full detail, contrast, and deep colors.

Internal Focusing Technology

Internal Focusing technology makes working with the lens even more comfortable. It ensures that all lens movements take place inside the body. Focus changes do not affect the length of the lens, ensuring optimum stability. Internal Focusing also helps to better protect the unit from dust, which is harder to get inside the body, compared to designs offering external focusing.

Everything-in-its-place

Included with the Venus Optics Laowa 100 mm T2.9 Cine Macro APO lens for Arri PL, you will receive a sturdy carrying case. It features an ergonomic handle and strong latches. The precision-cut compartment will ensure safety and peace of mind when moving the lens from place to place.
