8K Super 35 Broadcast Zoom Performance
The Laowa Ultima 12-120mm T4 is engineered for professional productions requiring high-resolution image capture up to 8K. Designed for Super 35 camera systems, it delivers an extensive 12-120mm focal range with a versatile 10x zoom ratio, making it well-suited for broadcast, documentary, reality television, ENG, and other dynamic shooting environments where flexibility is essential.
Wide Super 35 Coverage
Featuring a 29.5mm image circle across the entire zoom range, this lens provides full coverage for Super 35 sensors while maintaining consistent image quality. The broad focal length range allows operators to move seamlessly from wide establishing shots to tight close-ups without changing lenses.
Optional Servo Control Support
For users requiring traditional broadcast-style operation, the lens is compatible with the optional Movcam servo drive system. This addition enables smooth powered zoom control, making it ideal for live events, news gathering, and run-and-gun production workflows.
Professional Cinema Construction
Built with industry-standard cinema lens controls, the Ultima 12-120mm incorporates geared focus, iris, and zoom rings for compatibility with follow focus systems, wireless lens controllers, and lens motors. Dual distance markings in both feet and meters improve usability for focus pullers and camera assistants in professional production settings.
Smooth, Natural Bokeh
A nine-blade iris design helps create pleasing, rounded out-of-focus highlights and smooth background separation, contributing to a cinematic look throughout the zoom range while maintaining a constant T4 aperture.
