Laowa Sword Macro Cine Lens Overview
Designed for full-frame camera sensors, the Laowa Sword 15mm T4.1 1x Macro Cine Lens from Venus Optics captures ultra-sharp macro footage with compatible ARRI PL cameras. The 15mm lens features a T4.1 to T32 aperture range and is constructed of 12 elements in 9 groups. Create a shallow depth of field and dreamy bokeh with the 14-blade iris. This focal length has a 1x magnification ratio and a 12 cm minimum focus distance for detailed close-ups.
The Sword series is engineered with improved chromatic aberration control to prevent color fringing while maintaining sharp and vibrant images. The focus ring rotates 84° and the iris ring 37° for intuitive manual adjustments. A 110° angle of view ensures your subject remains in the frame. The 15mm version has a 100mm outer diameter and 95mm filter thread for use with compatible matte boxes and filters. Cine-standard gearing on the lens and separately available interchangeable mounts provide wide compatibility with cameras and accessories.
