Professional Cine Fisheye Zoom
The Venus Optics Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 is a full-frame fisheye zoom lens built for professional cinematographers. Its constant T2.9 aperture and 13 elements in 9 groups optical design deliver exceptional clarity and low-light performance. The lens covers an ultra-wide 8-15mm focal range with a dramatic 180-degree-plus field of view for immersive storytelling.
PL Mount Compatibility Check
Verify that your camera body uses a PL mount before ordering, as this lens is designed specifically for that interface. Confirm your sensor format covers full-frame to utilise the complete 180-degree-plus field of view without vignetting. Ensure your rig can accommodate a manual cine lens with geared focus and iris rings for follow-focus systems.
Metal Cine Housing Durability
The robust metal construction withstands demanding filmmaking environments on set and on location. Geared manual focus and aperture rings integrate directly with standard cinema follow-focus accessories for precise control. The ultra-portable cine design balances professional build quality with a form factor suited for gimbal, drone, or handheld rig mounting.
