Anhui, China—Venus Optics introduced the Laowa Sword Macro Cine full-frame lens series. Further, the collection of macro cine lenses spans from wide-angle 15mm, 25mm and 35mm lenses to longer focal lengths of 60mm, 100mm and 180mm. Thus, it is a set for all shooting scenarios. Moreover, each lens covers full-frame formats and is engineered to deliver sharpness, color rendition and macro capabilities.
The Sword series also offers chromatic aberration control, to help diminish color fringing. Plus, they minimize both in-focus and out-of-focus longitudinal CA to save time in postproduction. Additionally, with magnification ratios of 1:1 on the 15mm and 2:1 on the 60mm and 100mm lenses, cinematographers can capture intricate details with minimal working distances.
