Hi! Aside from the cine gears, what's the difference between this lens and the laowa 100mm f2.8?
Asked by: Bill
What sets the Venus Optics Laowa 100mm T2.9 2x Macro APO FF Cine Lens (Sony E) apart from the Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E is that the housing is much more durable with a front mount designed for clamp on matte boxes, the aperture is declicked and measured in T-stops rather than F-stops for the most accurate representation of the light transference of the lens and the filter size on the front is 77mm rather than 67mm.
