does it focus to infinity? And will it work with an R5?
Asked by: Bret
Yes, the Venus Optics Laowa 65mm T2.9 2x Macro APO Super35 Cine Lens (Canon RF) has an infinity focus lens setting. Also, to use the Venus Optics Laowa 65mm lens with your Canon R5 you will need to switch to S35 cropped sensor mode since this lens is not a full frame lens.
