Laowa has introduced the 16-30mm T2.9 to their Ranger set of affordable, compact, and full-frame cine zoom lenses. The 16-30mm features a constant T2.9 without any ramping throughout the entire zoom range. Together with the 28-75mm T2.9 and the 75-180mm T2.9, these lenses give a cinematographer fairly complete focal length options, from a wide 16mm all the way to 180mm. Laowa unveiled the Ranger line-up of affordable, compact, and full-frame cine zoom lenses back in June 2023, followed by the Lite versions in November. Here’s my colleague Nino’s review of the original pair of Laowa Ranger lenses in case you missed it. Now, they’ve finally added the Laowa Ranger 16-30mm T2.9 Full-Frame Compact Cine Zoom Lens to the set, featuring a wide-angle design that complements the two other lenses. These affordable, full-frame cinema zoom lenses are built for cameras featuring a full-frame sensor, something that can be considered a rarity since most are made for S35 sensors. Laowa Ranger 16-30mm T2.9 – features The Laowa Ranger 28-75mm T2.9 and 75-180mm T2.9 both feature a balanced, sharp look without a digital appearance, as reviewed by my colleague, Nino. The 16-30mm T2.9 should be the same. All three lenses are under 7.5 inches (20cm) and weigh 3+ pounds (1.4 kg) or less, making them easy to use and carry. The Lite versions of the Laowa Ranger Cine Zooms feature a magnesium design (in space grey), making them around 10% lighter and more durable. Laowa Ranger 16-30mm T2.9 Full-Frame Cine Zoom Lens in...
