Laowa 7.5mm T2.9 Zero-D S35 Cine Lens - Fuji X is a cine lens light enough to fly on a drone and a great choice for architectural filming, as it keeps straight lines from warping and parallel lines remain parallel. Fitted with a Fuji X mount, this lens is both small and lightweight, yet optically fast and sharp. Use the lens with your camera in handheld, tripod, gimbal, stabilizer, or drone configuration for sharp, clear images in dim to bright environments. The lens accepts optional 77mm threaded filters, which can help protect your front element and improve your images by cutting through UV and glare. The lens comes with front and rear caps, as well as a protective hard case. With focus scales marked in both feet and meters, the lens is suitable for anyone without remarking the distances, and the built-in 0.8 MOD rings allow you to easily integrate this lens into your cinema lens accessory setup, as it works with industry-standard follow focus units and lens motors.

The relatively short focusing distance of 9.84" makes it perfect for focusing on close subjects with a strong background bokeh effect. This optical design contains 16 elements in 10 groups, including 2 ED and 2 aspherical glasses for controlling chromatic aberration to the minimum. It renders outstanding and sharp images, which saves a lot of time on post-production. The lens offers a 123° angle of view in Super35. The T2.9 maximum aperture allows filmmakers to shoot under low light situations and control the depth of field, making it suitable for shooting in tight spaces or for establishing shots.
