Overview
Add expansive 180° views to your video content using the Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 FF Zoom Fisheye Cine Lens from Venus Optics and your ARRI PL-mount camera. This innovative lens covers up to full-frame camera sensors and features a dual round/rectangular fisheye look and a fast, constant T2.9 maximum aperture throughout the zoom range.
Core Features
Innovative Fisheye Zoom Lens
The versatile 8-15mm zoom range lets you adapt the fisheye look to different shots without having to switch lenses.
Fast T2.9 Aperture
This Laowa lens maintains a constant T2.9 maximum aperture across the 8-15mm zoom range. The fast aperture makes it ideal for low-light capture, including astrophotography and night scenes, and for creating shallow depth of field visuals.
Dual Fisheye Effect
- At 8mm, this lens produces a circular fisheye effect with a 180° angle of view.
- This immersive look is great for dreamlike effects and 360° content using simple stitching.
- Zoom into 15mm to create a rectangular view with a wide, curved perspective.
- Use the tighter look for establishing shots, action capture, or creative effects.
Close Focus
- The Laowa 8-15mm's 16 cm minimum focus lets you get close to your subjects, creating an exaggerated POV.
- This creates a bug-eye effect that is ideal for surreal looks, horror sequences, and more.
Cine Housing and Mount Options
This ARRI PL-mount lens has a rugged, cine-style design with 0.8 MOD focus, iris, and zoom gears. It can be adapted with separately available Canon RF, FUJINON X, Leica L, and Nikon Z bayonet mounts. NOTE: This lens produces a narrower field of view when used with the Super 35 FUJINON X mount.
