Lens Venus Optics Laowa 15 mm T2,1 Zero-D Cine for Canon RF

Description

The Venus Optics Laowa 15mm T2.1 Zero-D is the perfect lens for filmmakers with full-frame Canon RF bayonet cameras and camcorders. It is incredibly bright, provides a wide field of view and an amazing perspective. The Cine version features standard gears for mounting a Follow Focus module on both rings (aperture and focus). The lightweight, compact design is great for handheld and gimbal shots.

Full frame coverage

The 15mm focal length will work well with cinema cameras and full frame sensors. At the time of its release, the Laowa lens with T/2.1 light transmission was the widest lens on the market with this specification. The image coverage field also works with VistaVision sensors.

Advanced optical system

At the heart of the lens are 12 optical elements arranged in 9 groups. Two aspherical lenses and three extra-low dispersion glasses reduce chromatic aberration, spherical aberration and distortion to a minimum. The Frog Eye Coating on the outer lens prevents flare and ghosting and protects the glass from dust and dirt. The maximum aperture of T/2.1 makes the lens ideal for difficult lighting conditions.

Extremely-close-meeting

The 15cm focus distance allows filmmakers the flexibility to compose multi-plane shots with a wide perspective and shallow depth of field. Surprise your audience with creativity and unusual frames.

Distortion? What distortion?!

The ultra-wide-angle field of view is not the only advantage of the Laowa lens. Zero-D guarantees exceptional image quality and excellent distortion control. The lens is almost completely distortion-free and is ideal for recording commercial architectural footage, landscapes and bird’s eye shots.

Compact and versatile

The Venus Optics Laowa 15mm T2.1 Zero-D is suitable for productions of any size and momentum. It is light enough to be great for handheld shots as well as mounted on gimbals, professional sliders and camera taps.

A lens made for filmmakers

In the work of a filmmaker it’s hard to do without ND filters. You can easily mount all circular filters with a thread diameter of 77 mm onto the lens. Another important feature is the stepless zoom ring, which allows smooth and soundless aperture changes during filming. Both focus and aperture rings feature film industry standard 0.8 pitch gears, suitable for Cine Follow Focus motors. Manual focusing with this lens is a pleasure. The ring operates impeccably and with a tactile resistance.

Sturdy-case

Lenses from the professional Laowa Cine line are supplied in the original Pelican branded case. These provide security and peace of mind when transporting every filmmaker’s precious ‘jars’.
