Laowa Ranger S35 17-50mm T2.9 (Lao-1750-Plef)

Compact cine zoom built for Super35

The Laowa Ranger S35 17-50mm T2.9 Cine Lens with PL mount delivers a versatile mid-range zoom in a remarkably compact body. At just 117 mm long and around 850 grams, it is a strong choice for gimbal work, drone setups, and handheld shooting where balance and mobility matter.

Consistent performance across the zoom range

This lens maintains a bright T2.9 aperture throughout the full 17-50mm range, helping you work confidently in a wide variety of lighting conditions. Its parfocal design keeps focus locked as you zoom, while minimal focus breathing helps preserve a natural cinematic look.

Designed for professional workflow

The Ranger S35 series is made with cine production in mind, featuring 0.8 MOD gears on the focus, iris, and zoom rings for smooth operation with follow-focus systems and lens motors. Focus marks are shown in both feet and meters, and the front accepts 77 mm filters for added flexibility on set.

Flexible mount system

With a native ARRI PL mount, this lens can also be adapted using separately available interchangeable mounts for Canon RF, Fuji X, Nikon Z, Sony E, and L-mount cameras. That makes it a versatile option for a range of camera systems.

Optical quality and close focusing

Built with 18 elements in 22 groups, the lens is engineered to produce sharp, high-contrast images with accurate color rendering. A minimum focus distance of 35 cm allows you to get close to small subjects and fine details, making it useful for both narrative and commercial work.
