Laowa 10 mm T2.9 Zero-D VV Cine PL delivers the widest rectilinear angle available for full-frame and VistaVision (Ø ≥ 46 mm) sensors while holding distortion at virtually 0 %. A 15-element/9-group design with aspherical and ED glass restrains chromatic fringes, sustaining edge-to-edge acuity. The fast T2.9 14-blade iris keeps exposure even across multi-camera sets and renders smooth circular bokeh within the sweeping 130.3 ° field of view.
Macro-style framing is possible at 0.12 m (4.7 in), providing 0.24× magnification and exaggerated depth for foreground detail. Precision mechanics offer 113 ° focus throw and 63 ° iris throw, both equipped with industry-standard 0.8 MOD gears, granting instant compatibility with wireless motors or FIZ units. Dual metric/imperial scales speed focus pulls for international crews, and the passive PL mount locks securely to ARRI, RED, Venice 2 or BURANO bodies with zero electronic handshake.
Portability meets robustness: an anodised-aluminium shell weighs only 545 g (1.20 lb) and measures 46.7 mm from flange, ideal for gimbals, FPV drones and car rigs. The 80 mm front diameter mates with clip-on matte boxes, yet the integral 77 mm filter thread accepts screw-on ND or polarisers when agility matters. Internal focusing keeps the centre of gravity fixed, preventing balance shifts, and deeply engraved markings stay readable under low-key lighting.
Supplied with a shim set and hard case, the lens guarantees coverage up to open-gate 8.6 K (image circle 43.2 mm) while leaving clearance for behind-the-lens ND stacks. Laowa 10 mm T2.9 Zero-D VV Cine PL becomes indispensable wherever productions face confined interiors, virtual-production volumes or architectural briefs, expanding the visual canvas without post-correction overhead yet preserving future sensor compatibility.
