Venus Optics Laowa Ranger Lite 16-30mm T2.9 Overview

Capture high-quality cinematic images with the Laowa Ranger Lite 16-30mm 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 13", 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 wide-angle vistas and character- or dialogue-driven scenes.
