Venus Optics announces Sword Series compact macro full frame cine lenses

Venus Optics has introduced the Laowa Sword Macro Full Frame Cine series, a collection of macro cine lenses spanning from wide-angle 15mm, 25mm, and 35mm lenses to longer focal lengths of 60mm, 100mm, and 180mm, providing a comprehensive set for all shooting scenarios. Each lens in the series covers full-frame formats, delivering sharpness, stunning color rendition, and exceptional macro capabilities, the company said. Each weighing in at under 1kg (2.2lbs), these lenses are among the lightest on the market. The Sword series also excels in chromatic aberration control, minimizing both in-focus and out-of-focus longitudinal CA to save time in post-production. With impressive magnification ratios—1:1 on the 15mm lens and 2:1 on the 60mm and 100mm lenses—cinematographers can capture intricate details with minimal working distances. The Sword series is available to order in 15/25/35/60/100/180mm. Except for the 15mm, all focal lengths are compatible with 77mm filters.
