Widest Rectilinear S35 Lens
The Venus Optics Laowa 7.5mm T2.9 Zero-D is a manual-focus cine lens built for Super 35 sensors. Its 123° angle of view makes it the widest rectilinear option in this format, while 16 elements in 10 groups — including two ED and two aspherical glasses — keep distortion near zero. A non dome-shaped front accepts 77mm screw-in filters for convenient on-lens control.
Tight-Space Shooters and Drone Operators
This lens suits cinematographers working in confined interiors, architectural projects or aerial platforms where a flat front element and filter threads reduce payload. The 25 cm minimum focus distance helps create pronounced background separation at T2.9. It is not for productions needing autofocus, electronic aperture control or focal lengths longer than 7.5 mm.
Z-Mount Clearance and Filter Workflow
Verify that your Nikon Z camera covers Super 35 or can crop to it without vignetting. Confirm 77 mm filter threads match your existing matte-box or screw-in kit. The 9.84-inch close-focus distance requires enough physical space between sensor plane and subject. No electronic coupling means aperture and focus are fully manual.

Questions about this item
Will this 7.5mm T2.9 lens mount directly on my Nikon Z camera?
Yes, the lens is built for the Nikon Z mount so it attaches natively without an adapter.
Does the 123° angle of view on S35 cover a full-frame Z sensor without vignetting?
The 123° figure is specified for Super 35 format; on a full-frame Z sensor the image circle will vignette because the lens is designed for the smaller S35 frame.
How can I confirm the Zero-D claim after mounting the lens?
Shoot a brick wall or grid at 25 cm minimum focus; straight lines should stay straight across the frame, showing the near-zero distortion the optical design targets.
