New Venus Optics lenses
These are the new Venus Optics (brand name: Laowa) lenses revealed by Sightron, which is its sole distributor in Japan. The optics were presented at the Shanghai camera show.
MFT 14-60mm, T2.9 Cine:
S35 Anamorphic 27mm T2.8 1.5X Cine:
7.5mm T2.9 Cine:
MFT 6mm T2.1 Cine:
Laowa FF 24mm T14 2x Macro Periprobe
The most interesting lens is the 2x macro lens for cine that allows the tip of the lens (armed with LED lighting) to change the angle between 0 and 90 ° and can rotate 360 ° around the axis. Only the tip of the lens is waterproof. This is a more sophisticated version of the very unique Laowa 24mm f/14 Probe. It seems that the f-stop and focal length remained the same, but now the lens has periscopic capabilities which allow the lens to get into even more challenging tight places, and produce more unusual and special imagery.
There’s no info about pricing nor availability. However, Venus Optics works pretty fast and this glass is expected to be officially launched very soon. We’ll keep you updated.
