Discover the exceptional capabilities of the Laowa 12mm f/ 2.8 Zero-D Lens for Sony FE, a must-have tool for every photographer. Unlike many ultra-wide-angle lenses on the market, this lens is designed to overcome common issues such as dramatic barrel distortion, poor peripheral sharpness, and bulky size. The Laowa 12mm f/ 2.8 Zero-D Lens stands out with its near-zero distortion rate, delivering straight lines that other lenses often bend. This lens offers an ultra-wide 122.5 ° angle of view, enabling you to capture stunning landscapes, architectural shots, and spacious interior photos with ease.
It's also the world's widest rectilinear f/ 2.8 lens, making it a unique addition to your camera bag. The Laowa 12mm f/ 2.8 Zero-D Lens boasts a patented optical design featuring 16 lens elements in 10 groups, including 3 Extra-Low Dispersion Elements and 2 Aspherical Elements. This design ensures high-resolution images from corner to corner, even at a wide-open f/ 2.8 aperture, while keeping chromatic aberration to a minimum. Weighing just 1.34 lbs (609g), this lens is compact and lightweight compared to other ultra-wide-angle lenses, making it an ideal choice for everyday use and travel.
It also comes with a 100mm filter holder, allowing you to insert two 100mm Neutral Density (ND) filters and one 105mm Circular Polarizer (CPL) filter for enhanced landscape photography. The Laowa 12mm f/ 2.8 Zero-D Lens is one of the brightest 12mm lenses available, with a fast aperture that shortens exposure time and captures more details in low-light conditions or night sky photography. Its 122° angle of view and near-zero distortion make it an excellent choice for panorama shooting. Featuring a floating optical design, this lens ensures sharpness at both infinity focus and close focusing distances.
With a minimum focusing distance of 18cm and a maximum magnification of 0.2 x, it's also a fun tool for wide-angle macro photography. Each Laowa 12mm f/ 2.8 Zero-D Lens is coated with Laowa's new 'Frog Eye' Coating for an extra layer of protection. The lens also works with the Laowa Magic Shift Converter, which enlarges the full-frame image circle and provides a 10mm shift capability for Full-Frame E-mount cameras, making it an ideal tool for professional architectural photography.
