Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. In EF mount, will this lens work with an EF to MFT Metabones .71 Speedbooster?

A: The EF mount Venus Optics Laowa Ranger S35 50-130mm T2.9 Cine Lens (ARRI PL) is not compatible with any speedbooster. Speedboosters are meant to be used on full-frame lenses.

Q: 2. Is this an e-mount? Will it work with freefly wave camera, and if not, how can I have this lens on the freefly wave?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa Ranger 28-75mm T2.9 Cine Zoom Lens (PL/EF) is not a Sony E-Mount lens. It is a PL mount lens with an interchangeable EF mount included. A lens mount adapter such as the Metabones ARRI PL Lens to Sony E-mount Camera T Adapter (Black), BH #MEMBPLEBT2, would be an option to mount the lens on the FREEFLY Wave High-Speed Camera (2TB).

Q: 3. what is the OD of the lens barrel for Matte box mounting?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa Ranger 28-75mm T2.9 Cine Zoom Lens has an 80mm front diameter.

Q: 4. I'm looking at buying this lens to adapt to my GH5. Does this become 34-100mm due to the 2x crop factor of micro four thirds?

A: Yes, because of the GH5's micro four-thirds sensor has a 2x crop factor, it will transfer the crop of 2x to the Venus Optics Laowa Ranger S35 17-50mm T2.9 Cine Lens (ARRI PL). The view would be 34 to 100mm when adapted to the GH5. Adding a speed booster like this will lessen the crop significantly: Metabones Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Select PL Lenses to Micro Four Thirds Camera, B&H # MEMBSLM43BT1 With the speed booster, the Venus lens would have an FOV of 24 to 71mm.

Q: 5. Do they come with a hard case?

A: Yes, the Venus Optics Laowa Ranger S35 T2.9 Cine Zoom Lens 3-Lens Bundle (ARRI PL) includes a hard case with your kit purchase.

Q: 6. Is the EF/Pl mount interchangeable and does it come with both when the lens is purchased?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa Ranger 28-75mm T2.9 Cine Zoom Lens (PL/EF) comes with the PL mount attached and the EF mount with parts and shim set, to switch mounts.

Q: 7. What size matte box back/adapter does this lens require?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa Ranger Lite 28-75mm T2.9 Cine Zoom Lens can be mounted to a matte box with an 80mm diameter or step up clamp on from the 77mm front filter threads.

Q: 8. What is the image circle of this lens? (Not angle of view, image circle)

A: The following unit offers a super 35mm image circle and is designed with 14 lens elements

Q: 9. Is this lens only manual focus, or is it also autofocus?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa 65mm T2.9 2x Macro APO Super35 Cine Lens is a totally manual lens. Focus is manual.

Q: 10. Are Laowa Ranger zoom lenses compatible with adapters with glass elements, such as EF or PL to MFT Metabones .71 Speedboosters?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa Ranger 28-75mm T2.9 Cine Zoom Lens (PL/EF) with the EF mount attached should function fine with speed boosters like the Metabones T Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Canon Full-Frame EF-Mount Lens to Micro Four Thirds-Mount Camera since the rear elements on the EF mount should not protrude any further like other EF lenses. The PL mount protrusion still needs to be listed, but if it is not more than 14.5mm, it should be okay on the Metabones Speed Booster Ultra 0.71x Adapter for Select PL Lenses to Micro Four Thirds Camera.

[Nikon Z] This lens is awesome, the infamous 8R is one of my favorite lenses to get that huge feel, and this little guy does a great job filling that role at a price you can afford to buy instead of rent. The step up ring to get it on the matte box, get some super short rails. 5

[Nikon Z] It works with my Lumix camera bodies and was super easy to swap out lens mounts with the original PL mount. Definitely recommend. 5

[Nikon Z] I am very happy with this lens. 5

[Nikon Z] Really loving this lens particularly the lightweight. Have used Angenieux and Fuji lenses on a few features, and this lens cut right in with them. It's fast and lightweight and build quality is good as well. Definitely recommended. 5

[Nikon Z] Excelente rendimiento de este lente, apenas deforma un poco los bordes y por el precio se convertirá en mi focal preferida. 5

[Nikon Z] I've been looking at these lenses for over a year now, and finally being able to get my hands on one has brought such a next level image to my projects. I've only used it on a couple projects so far, but I think it's great. The parafocal ability is so great, and the lens' rings and gears are so smooth. The focal distance ring seems to have a little more resistance when moving it, but it's not a hinderance to its use. When focusing in or out, the focus breathing seems to be nonexistent and is sooooo smooth. Specifically with the image that you get out of this lens, I think it has a wonderful amount of character/softness to the amount of sharpness. One reason I've moved over to cinema lenses is that they're not as clinical or sharp as my photography lenses, and they give my video a much more personal look and feel. But when it comes to some commercial work, my original cine lenses can be a bit too soft at a T 2.0. But this Laowa Ranger gives me the right amount of sharpness and character to use on just about any project, and having this in my daily camera rig just eliminates the hassle of switching out lenses to get the look I'm going for. I know this review isn't very technical, but if you're a first time buyer of cinema zoom lenses, this is an incredible place to start and you won't regret it. 5
