Overview
The Laowa Ranger T2.9 Full Frame Cine Zoom 2-Lens Kit from Venus Optics includes two parfocal zoom lenses — 28–75 mm and 75–180 mm — designed for full-frame cameras with ARRI PL and Canon EF mounts. Both lenses share a T2.9 maximum aperture, 11 aperture blades, and industry-standard 0.8 MOD gearing on the focus, aperture, and zoom rings for seamless follow-focus operation.
With mirrored gear placement and consistent 77 mm filter threads, switching between focal lengths is fast and intuitive. Each lens delivers minimal focus breathing, accurate markings in feet and meters, and an 80 mm front diameter. Both lenses include an interchangeable EF bayonet and shim set for precise back-focus adjustment, housed in protective hard cases.
