Product Information

Full details

The Laowa Ranger Compact Cine Zoom 2-Lens Bundle is designed for professional cinematographers and independent filmmakers who require a lightweight, high-performance solution covering a vast focal range from 28mm to 180mm. By offering constant T2.9 apertures and minimized focus breathing, this kit serves as a reliable workhorse for run-and-gun documentary projects or sophisticated narrative productions; however, users should be aware that the lens bundle comes specifically in Arri PL or Canon EF mounts, which may require adapters for mirrorless camera systems.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these lenses parfocal?

Yes, the Laowa Ranger series is designed to hold focus throughout the zoom range, making them true cinema zoom lenses.

Can I use these lenses on APS-C sensors?

Yes, they are compatible with full-frame and smaller sensors, though the effective focal length will change based on your camera's crop factor.

What is the front filter diameter?

The Ranger series utilizes a standard cinema front diameter, allowing for the use of matte boxes and clamp-on filters.

Do these lenses support autofocus?

No, these are manual focus cinema lenses designed specifically for precision focus pulling.

Is the mount interchangeable?

The lenses are purchased with either an Arri PL or Canon EF mount; check with the manufacturer regarding authorized service center mount conversions.

Troubleshooting

Image appears soft at the edges

Ensure the lens is properly seated and locked into the camera mount to prevent flange distance issues.

Focus ring feels stiff

Check that the follow-focus gear teeth are properly aligned and not exerting excessive pressure on the lens barrel.

Exposure changes when zooming

The Ranger series features constant aperture; if exposure changes, ensure the iris ring hasn't been accidentally bumped during the zoom movement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extensive focal length coverage in just two lenses
  • Consistent T2.9 aperture throughout the zoom
  • Compact form factor ideal for gimbal use
  • Negligible focus breathing for professional racks
  • High optical performance for full-frame sensors

Cons

  • Fixed to Arri PL or Canon EF mount options
  • May require external adapters for non-native mirrorless cameras
  • Manual focus only, limiting use for solo operators relying on AF

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, verify that your camera body supports Arri PL or Canon EF mounts. If using a mirrorless system (such as Sony E, Canon RF, or L-mount), use a high-quality mount adapter to maintain infinity focus. When changing lenses, always store them in a clean, dust-free environment to protect the front and rear elements. Use a blower to remove loose debris before using a microfiber cloth. Regularly check the lens gear rings to ensure they are free of grit or sand, which could interfere with your follow-focus motor.
