Expressly designed for large-format sensors, the Fujinon Premista 28-100mm T2.9 Cine Lens PLfrom Fujinon Premista 28-100mm T2.9 Cine Lens PLcovers up to a 46.3mm image circle in addition to Super 35 sensors. Its image quality is maintained from the center through the image corners and is color-matched to the Fujifilm cine lens line to reduce color grading in post. Compatibility with both ZEISS eXtended Data and Cooke /i Technology makes it easy to note your lens information for VFX work or matching shots. When paired with its 80-250mm companion, the two Premista zooms cover a wide range of frequently used focal lengths.

This standard zoom lens features a constant T2.9 maximum aperture across the entire zoom range, minimal aberration, low distortion, flare and ghost suppression, and a wide dynamic range. Housed in a durable lens barrel, the Premista28-100mm is designed with a 13-blade aperture for smooth bokeh, a wide focus barrel rotation of 280°, and a 114mm front diameter.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. 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: 2. 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.

Q: 3. Does this include lens support? If not, is it fit screw size with ARRI LS-9?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 Cine Lens (PL Mount, Feet) has a thread to accept a 15mm rod lens support like the Axler 15mm Rod Bridge Adapter BH #AXRAB15LWS • MFR #RAB-15LWS

Q: 4. Does this lens work with speed boosters like the Metabones Ultra?

A: It will not. This lens only covers up to an APS-C or Super35 Sensor and Speed Boosters require a full frame lens.

Q: 5. Has anyone tried using this with the Tilta Mirage Matte Box? Is there a way to clamp it on or does it only work with rails? I notice it says it has a 95mm thread, but a 100mm front.

A: The Tilta Mirage VND Kit fits on lenses 95mm or smaller. Unfortunately, the Venus Optics Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 Cine Lens is 100mm so the matte box will not fit.

Q: 6. 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: 7. 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: 8. Will this vignette on a Red V-Raptor X VV?

A: Yes, the Venus Optics Laowa Ranger Lite 28-75mm Lens will vignette on a RED V-Raptor 8K VV sensor.

Q: 9. Do these lenses come in a case for safety during transportation?

A: No. The following unit does not offer a case. Please review the following cases we have available. https://bhpho.to/3PrnI5b

Q: 10. Does anyone know how many shims are required to get this to focus properly and stay parfocal on the EF mount? Tried it with 2 shims for the EF mount (on a komodo with the canon VND adapter) and the focus got thrown off when zooming out.

A: From what we understand, you're using the Venus Optics Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 Cine Lens Bundle (Feet) (B&H# VEO2510029BF) with the included EF mount, and also the Canon Drop-In Filter Mount Adapter EF-EOS R with Variable ND Filter (B&H# CAMAEFRFDIND). While the lens is intended to be adapted using the included adapters, connections between those adapters and even minute differences between adapters and especially their fit can result in the lens being significantly less than parfocal. That's also true of the distance of the sensor relative to that of the mount of a camera. We'd recommend using the lens with a strong lens support, and also making sure that the procedure you're using for shimming it is appropriate. In particular, since your question was how many shims to use, please note that not all shims used for adjusting the flange distance of a lens are necessarily of the same thickness. Here's a popular video on the topic of shimming a lens: https://bit.ly/3u0rnim
