Laowa 7.5mm T2.9 Zero-D S35 Cine Lens - Sony E

Laowa 7.5mm T2.9 Zero-D S35 Cine Lens – Ultra-wide 7.5mm with Zero-D distortion for architectural precision (Sony E)

The Laowa 7.5mm T2.9 Zero-D S35 Cine Lens is an ultra-wide-angle cinema lens built for Super35 cameras with a Sony E mount. It delivers an expansive field of view while keeping straight lines straight, making it well suited to landscape cinematography, architectural shots, immersive interior scenes, and dynamic action sequences. The lens balances a bright T2.9 aperture with a compact, lightweight form factor so filmmakers can use it on handheld rigs, gimbals, and drones.

Designed for Super35 filmmaking with Zero-D optical control

Laowa’s Zero-D (Zero Distortion) optical technology minimizes geometric distortion. As a result, the lens preserves straight lines in architecture and interiors, which simplifies post-production and maintains visual integrity on set. In addition, the lens’ bright T2.9 aperture supports low-light shooting and offers creative control over depth of field.

Optical construction and image performance

The 7.5mm T2.9 uses an advanced optical formula composed of 16 elements in 10 groups. This layout includes aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements that reduce chromatic aberration and contribute to overall image clarity. Together, these elements help render sharp images across the frame while controlling color fringing.

Practical ergonomics for production use

Filmmakers will appreciate the lens’ compact and lightweight design, which makes it easy to integrate into handheld setups, gimbals, and drone rigs. Both focus and aperture rings use a standard 0.8 mod geared design, ensuring smooth, repeatable operation and compatibility with professional follow-focus systems. The lens provides manual focus and manual aperture control for precise, cinematic adjustments on set.

Durability and close-focus capability

The lens features a robust all-metal construction intended for long-term reliability in demanding production environments. It also offers a minimum focusing distance of 25 cm, enabling creative close-up compositions even with an ultra-wide perspective.
