Capture high-quality cinematic images with the Laowa Ranger Lite 75-180mm T2.9 Cine Zoom Lens from Venus Optics. Equipped with an interchangeable PL/EF mount, the versatile, compact lens boasts a parfocal design with 11 aperture blades, close focusing distance of 1.6/2.9", invisible focus breathing, and constant T2.9 to T22 aperture, providing you with exceptional performance on both full frame and S35 cameras and with lens marking in both feet and meters.

The modified space gray, magnesium alloy design of this "Lite" version keeps the lens 10% lighter than the earlier, standard version, and the built-in back focus adjustment system offers a smooth and reliable shooting experience whether you're on location or in a controlled studio environment. Defaulted with a titanium alloy PL mount, the lens is supplied with an aluminum alloy EF bayonet. Optional mirrorless mounts (Sony FE, Canon RF, and Nikon Z and L) are also available for added versatility. This Ranger Lite model is ideal for capturing portrait and wildlife footage where the operator may need to be at a considerable distance from the subject.

A: At this time Venus Optics does not offer an extender option for the Venus Optics Laowa Ranger 75-180mm T2.9 Cine Zoom Lens. Other adapters would need to be tested for compatibility.
