The Laowa Ranger 75-180mm T2.9 Zoom Lens perfectly complements its wider sibling, extending the acclaimed Ranger series into the telephoto realm while maintaining the line's core tenets of compactness, lightweight, and full-frame performance. This lens is an indispensable tool for cinematographers needing significant reach for close-ups, interviews, or capturing subjects from a distance, all within a remarkably nimble package.
Like the 28-75mm, the 75-180mm Ranger is designed for full-frame and VistaVision sensors, delivering consistent, high-quality images across a broad range of modern cinema cameras. Its standout feature is its incredibly manageable weight of approximately 1.5kg, making it exceptionally well-suited for setups where size and heft are critical factors, such as handheld rigs, drones, or gimbals, without sacrificing professional-grade optics.
The lens maintains a constant T2.9 aperture throughout its entire 75-180mm zoom range, ensuring consistent exposure and excellent low-light capabilities. It produces sharp, clear images with a natural rendition of colours and a pleasing, circular bokeh courtesy of its 11-blade iris. Key to its cinematic utility are its parfocal design, which ensures focus holds throughout the zoom, and its impressively low focus breathing, allowing for smooth, un-distracting focus transitions. With a 77mm front filter thread and an 80mm outer diameter, it integrates seamlessly with existing filter and accessory setups. The Laowa Ranger 75-180mm T2.9 is an exceptional telephoto zoom, offering an unparalleled combination of reach, performance, and portability for demanding productions.
