This capability opens up creative possibilities for filming insects, textures, products, and any subject where extreme detail is paramount.✓ Apochromatic (APO) Design:This advanced optical formula corrects for chromatic aberrations in both in-focus and out-of-focus areas. The result is superior sharpness and clarity without distracting color fringing.✓ Full-Frame Sensor Coverage:Engineered to cover full-frame and even larger Vista Vision sensors, this lens provides maximum image quality and compatibility with a wide range of professional cinema cameras.✓ Professional Cine Housing:The lens is built with a durable, all-metal body and features industry-standard 0.8 MOD gearing on both the focus and aperture rings for seamless integration with follow focus units and lens motors.✓ Fast T2.9 Aperture:The bright T2.9 aperture offers excellent performance in low-light conditions and provides fine control over depth of field, enabling beautiful background separation and soft bokeh.✓ Internal Focusing:The lens’s overall length does not change during focusing, which prevents accidental contact with the subject and makes it easier to use with matte boxes and other accessories.Why Laowa 100mm 2X Macro Cine Lens (PL) Is BetterFrom our expert view at Pooja Electronics, the Laowa 100mm T2.9 Macro sets itself apart by offering a unique combination of features typically found in much more expensive lenses.
