Control of focus, aperture, and zoom is intuitive thanks to the throw of each 0.8 MOD gear. Markings on the lens are available in both feet and meters.

Asked by: Matt
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.
