Laowa has announced the launch of two additions to its cine lens lineup: the Laowa 15mm T4.8 Zero-D Shift Cine and the Laowa 20mm T4.1 Zero-D Shift Cine. These lenses combine shift functionality with a huge image circle of 65.2mm, making them ideal for correcting perspectives even on the new host of larger size camera sensors. Both lenses offer a ±11mm shift capability for full-frame sensors, enabling filmmakers to correct converging lines and maintain straight, distortion-free capture of tall buildings, expansive landscapes, and intricate environments without tilting the camera and eliminating the need for post-production adjustments. It fits the largest sensor in the cinematography market (RED V-Raptor 8K Vista Vision 17:9 i.e. Ø46.31mm, Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 i.e. Ø65mm, & ARRI Alexa 65 i.e. Ø59.86mm).

Both lenses are designed with interchangeable mounts, including EF, RF, E, Z, and L, ensuring seamless compatibility with a wide range of camera systems. This versatility makes them a valuable tool for rental houses and cinematographers to work across different setups. The focus, aperture, and shift rings on both lenses are equipped with 0.8 mod gears, providing precise control and smooth operation. This design ensures easy integration with follow-focus systems, giving filmmakers complete command over their shots.

Laowa 15mm T4.8 Zero-D Shift Cine and the Laowa 20mm T4.1 Zero-D Shift Cine are now available for order through authorized Laowa retailers. In the US, these two lenses are priced at US$1,999.
