Laowa 11-18mm T2.9 Ranger Lite S35 PL Cine Lens

Laowa Ranger Lite S35 11-18mm T2.9 Compact Cine Zoom Lens PL LWARANLT1118S35PL

The Laowa Ranger S35 Compact Cine Zoom series comprises the 11-18mm, 17-50mm and 50-130mm, all with a constant T2.9 aperture and together covering a zoom range of more than 11x. The Lite versions are lighter than the standard ones: 660 to 775 g per lens, against 745 to 865 g. The compact size suits one-man-band productions and moving shots: handheld, gimbal and even FPV drones.

The parfocal optical design keeps the subject in focus while zooming in or out, focus breathing is almost invisible and close focusing distances (36 cm, 35 cm and 75 cm across the series) allow detailed close-ups. The professional cine housing has focus and aperture rings in the same position on every Ranger S35 lens, so lenses can be swapped without moving the follow focus, 0.8 mod gears on both rings, engraved metric and imperial scales, an 80 mm front diameter and a 77 mm filter thread for common matte boxes and filters.

Each lens has a native PL mount; interchangeable mounts for Canon EF, Canon RF, Sony E, Nikon Z, L-Mount and Fujifilm X are available separately.
