The Piano White version of these two lenses are priced at USD 649 and USD 6,000 (USD 7,500 for the bundle with 1.4x full frame expander and 1.33x rear anamorphic adapter) respectively.
Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 Cine
New color, New mount, Same excellent performance
The all-in-one Laowa OOOM 25-100mm T2.9 Cine includes a default Arri PL mount with Canon EF and Sony E mount bayonets for interchange. A Canon RF mount bayonet is exclusively added in the piano-white version of the OOOM lens.
All-in-one versatile zoom lens
The comprehensive 4x zoom lens is a versatile gear fulfilling your filming needs from ultra wide to telephone. It covers super35+ format, maximum in 4k UHD on Alexa Mini and 8k HD on Red Helium / 5k HD on Red Gemini. The constant maximum t-stop T2.9 makes low light filming easier throughout the whole zoom range. The lens has an excellent parfocal control which your subject is sharp and in focus when zooming in and out. The undesired focus breathing is compressed to minimal to keep the composition when changing focus.
The 1.4x full frame expander and the 1.33x rear anamorphic adapter are bundled with the OOOM lens. Cinematographers are able to expand the usage of the lens to fit different camera settings and filming purposes. The expander converts OOOM into a full frame lens while the anamorphic adapter creates 2.4:1 widescreen cinematic looks.
Laowa 9mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine
New Color Introduced
Laowa 9mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine has been one of the most popular ultra-wide-angle cine lenses in the range. We notably designed a Piano White version with a smooth paint finish. It matches with the colour of some camera bodies in the market like the RED Komodo Stormtrooper. The compressed small size of the 9mm T2.9 also matches the compact design of RED Komodo, making them a great combo for filming mobile and shooting FPV.
Wide angle lens for different shooting settings
It is currently the widest cine prime lens with a native Canon RF mount, which features a 120° angle of view on the Super35 sensor. The fast-maximum t-stop i.e. T2.9 is well suited and more flexible for filming under a low light environment. As its name stated, the lens is designed with a sublime optical distortion control with all straight lines retained, becoming the world’s widest T2.9 cine lens with the “Zero-D” feature. Its tiny size i.e. 54 x 62.4mm and lightweight i.e. 247g match perfectly with mirrorless Canon-RF-mounted cameras with gimbals or drones. The standard 55mm filter thread for mounting screw-in filters brings convenience and places less burden on outdoor filming.
