Laowa is meeting the demand for larger format cinematography with the introduction of the Wide Angle VV Cine Series – featuring 9mm T5.8, 10mm & 12mm T2.9 Lite, and 14mm T2.6 VV Cine Lenses. New digital cinema cameras such as ARRI’s 265, Blackmagic’s URSA Cine 17K, and the Fujifilm GFX Eterna will require coverage in excess of what we now call large format. All four lenses are designed to cover Vista Vision camera sensors featuring a Ø46.31mm image circle for the 9mm T5.8, 10mm T2.9, and 12mm T2.9 lenses, and a Ø46.5mm image circle for the 14mm T2.6, making them fully compatible with larger-format cameras like the Red Raptor 8K VV (Ø46.31mm) and Alexa LF Open Gate (Ø44.71mm).
All 4 rectilinear lenses provide high image quality with a “Close-to-Zero Distortion” feature implemented in most lenses, ensuring geometric shapes remain preserved for a realistic image. With an average weight of 500g/1.1lbs and an average length of 5cm/2″, this incredibly compact wide-angle series opens up a whole new possibility of dynamic setups, including being mounted on a helmet or DJI Ronin 4D for creative wide-angle shots.
The new Laowa 9mm T5.8 is the widest rectilinear full-frame lens in the cinematography market, with a 134.8° angle of view (AoV), while the 10mm T2.9 is the widest rectilinear full-frame lens with a “Zero-Distortion” feature, offering a 130.3° AoV.
