Built for filmmakers
The Venus Optics Laowa 17mm T1.9 Cine for Micro 4/3 is a lens created specifically with filmmakers in mind. It is equipped with 0.8 MOD gears, which are compatible with the most popular follow focus systems. The manufacturer has also taken care of stepless adjustment. Thanks to it you can smoothly and noiselessly change the aperture value while filming. All these solutions will certainly facilitate work on video materials.
Filming and shooting up close
Do you want a versatile lens that will not only allow you to film in wide shots, but also capture detail and record beautiful portraits with a sharp foreground and blurred background? The Venus Optics Laowa 17mm T1.9 Cine for Micro 4/3 will be the perfect choice! The minimum focusing distance here is just 15 cm. Focusing from such a close distance will give you more working flexibility and shallow depth of field control with a wider perspective.
Bright and versatile
With its compact size and 175 g weight, the Venus Optics Laowa 17 mm T1.9 Cine lens is not only compatible with cameras and camcorders equipped with a Micro 4/3 socket, but also with drones. You will also successfully use it to record b-roll video footage, which will include both wide and close-up movie sets. The high relative brightness of T1.9 is constant over the entire focal range. This allows you to successfully take planned shots in very low light conditions.
Beautiful bokeh and background blur
With a full T1.9 aperture you can achieve a shallow depth of field. This allows you to shoot video and stills with a blurred background so you can emphasise different elements of the frame. A bright lens means you can highlight the main subject of a shot and achieve great results, even when light is limited. A 7-blade aperture will also produce beautiful curved bokeh.
Safe transport
As befits a representative of the professional Laowa Cine line, created especially with filmmakers in mind, the Venus Optics Laowa 17mm T1.9 to Micro 4/3 lens has been given a special carrying case, which is included in the kit. Resistance to harsh weather conditions and a precision-cut compartment will ensure safety and peace of mind when transporting every filmmaker’s precious “jars”.
