Venus Optics Laowa Sword 25mm T2.9 1x Macro Cine Lens (ARRI PL)

Designed for true 1:1 macro at the wide end, this 25mm renders with crisp center resolution and a controlled, neutral color balance that holds through the focusing range. Out-of-focus areas fall away into smooth, circular bokeh thanks to the rounded iris, and the lens resists veiling glare even when a source sits just outside frame, with flares staying tight and disciplined rather than spreading across the image. PL mount, internal focus with no front breathing or barrel extension, and an image circle that clears full frame keep it predictable on a slider or probe-style rig. A specialist piece for tabletop, product, and insert work where you need wide-angle context inside a macro frame without sacrificing edge-to-edge stability.
