The focus and iris rings are equipped with 0.8 MOD gears, which are compatible with the most popular follow focus systems on the market. The manufacturer has also taken care of stepless adjustment. Thanks to it, you can smoothly and noiselessly change the aperture value during video recording. All these solutions will certainly facilitate work on the film shots.

Multiple uses

Thanks to their compact size and light weight, the Laowa Cine series of lenses are ideal for use with various types of Micro 4/3 socket equipment and are a great choice for vloggers and b-roll video makers. Thanks to the high relative brightness, constant throughout the focal range, you will be able to successfully use the lenses included in the Laowa Cine set when working in low light.

Get closer!

The lenses available in the Laowa Cine kit will not only work well for filming and photographing picturesque landscapes and open spaces. With a record-breaking minimum focusing distance (12 to 15cm depending on the model), you can easily capture smaller subjects that need to be approached. With the 50mm T2. 9 Macro APO Cine, you’ll also benefit from 2x magnification. You’ll be able to capture every subtle detail as well as shooting beautiful portraits with a sharp foreground and blurred background.
