Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 FF Zoom Fisheye Cine - Arri PL

The Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 FF Zoom Fisheye lens (Arri PL) is an innovative cinematic tool from Laowa, designed for filmmakers seeking bold and immersive images. Designed for Full frame sensor cameras, this lens combines a versatile zoom range of 8-15mm, a constant aperture of T2.9 and professional cinematic features for impressive fisheye effects. Perfect for music videos, action scènes, VR content and feature films, it enables cameramen to capture expansive scènes with unprecedented creative flair.
The Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 FF Zoom Fisheye Cine Lens delivers a double fisheye effect, offering filmmakers versatile cinematic images on full-frame cameras. At 8mm, the lens produces a circular fisheye effect with a 180° angle of view. Ideal for VR content, 360°-panoramas and surreal narrative sequences, this immersive look enhances storytelling with a dreamy aesthetic. At 15mm, the lens switches to a rectangular full-frame fisheye effect, filling the sensor with a wide, curved perspective while maintaining strong Distortion. Perfect for dynamic shooting, music videos or action cènes.

The Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 FF Zoom Fisheye Cine Lens has a constant T2.9 aperture across the entire 8-15mm zoom range, providing exceptional light transmission and precise exposure control for cinematic applications. This fast aperture excels in low-light environments, such as night shots, interior scenes or astrophotography, resulting in vivid, detailed images. It allows for a shallow depth of field, allowing filmmakers to isolate subjects from the lens' dramatic fisheye distortion. This creëerates impressive images for music videos, narrative films or stylised vlogs.

The Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 FF Zoom Fisheye lens has a minimum focusing distance of 16cm with a maximum magnification of 0.23x, allowing filmmakers to capture close-up subjects with stunning cinematic impact. This close-up focusing capability amplifies the lens' fisheye distortion, creating an exaggerated point of view (POV) that emphasises elements in the foreground while maintaining a wide, immersive background. The result is a dramatic insect eye effect, ideal for intense close-ups in action films, horror cènes or experimental music videos, where subjects appear out of proportion for a bold and almost surreal aesthetic.
The Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 FF Zoom Fisheye Cine Lens offers a versatile zoom range from 8mm to 15mm, allowing filmmakers to seamlessly adapt the fisheye perspective to various cinematic applications. This flexible Zoom lens, with a zoom range of 75°, allows filmmakers to switch between dramatic and practical fisheye aesthetics without having to change lenses. This improves the creative efficiency and versatility of storytelling on set.

The Laowa 8-15mm T2.9 FF Zoom Fisheye lens offers full-frame coverage, ensuring compatibility with high-resolution cinema cameras. This feature maximises sensor utilisation and provides a true 180° circular fisheye effect at 8mm and a full-frame rectangular fisheye at 15mm, both with edge-to-edge clarity and no crop. Wide coverage increases dynamic range and detail, making this lens ideal for immersive VR content, cinematic landscapes and impressive action cènes. The lens supports professional full-frame workflows and offers filmmakers versatile and powerful fisheye images. This makes it a powerful tool for music videos, feature films and 360°panoramas, while maintaining exceptional image quality.
