Venus Optics Laowa 20mm T4.1 Zero-D Shift Cine Lens (ARRI PL)

The Venus Optics Laowa 20mm T4.1 Zero-D Shift Cine Lens (ARRI PL) captures expansive, distortion-free perspectives for professional filmmaking. Designed for full-frame and VistaVision sensors, its large 65.2mm image circle ensures compatibility with industry-leading cameras such as the RED V-RAPTOR 8K VV, ARRI ALEXA, and Blackmagic URSA. With a ±11mm shift on VistaVision sensors, this lens corrects converging verticals, making it a powerful tool for architectural and interior cinematography.

The optical design incorporates 16 elements in 11 groups, a 14-blade aperture, and a T4.1 to T22 range for smooth, cinematic bokeh and consistent exposure control. Its 117° shifted field of view paired with the Zero-D low-distortion design delivers precise, natural-looking framing. A close-focus distance of just 9.9" adds creative versatility for dynamic shots.

Each lens features an interchangeable mount system and comes with a shim set for fine-tuned calibration. A durable hard case is included for secure storage and transport.
