This ultra-wide-angle lens, designed for full-frame (FF) mirrorless cameras, offers a remarkable 126-degree angle of view. Despite its compact size, measuring only 6.3 cm ( 2.5 inches) in length and weighing a mere 254g ( 8.9 oz), this lens delivers superior image quality, making it an essential tool for travel and landscape photographers. The lens is engineered with 14 elements in 10 groups, including 2 aspherical elements and 3 extra-low dispersion elements.
These components work in harmony to ensure sharp, high-quality images while minimizing chromatic aberrations and distortion. The Laowa 11mm lens also boasts an impressively close focusing distance of 19cm, allowing photographers to create macro-like shots with an ultra-wide perspective. This feature also enables the creation of immersive "over the shoulder" shots that truly bring viewers into the scene. One of the standout features of this lens is its 5-blade aperture, which produces stunning 10-point sunstars, adding an extra layer of creativity to your images. The lens is equipped with a built-in 62mm filter thread, allowing for the direct attachment of screw-in filters.
For those who prefer using larger filters, a specially designed 100mm square filter frame is available, ensuring no significant vignetting occurs. For Leica M mount photographers, the lens supports rangefinder coupling, providing a more accurate and easy focus. In addition to the lens, this bundle includes a Hoya NXT Plus 62mm UV filter, a cleaning kit, and a cloth. These accessories aid in protecting your lens and maintaining its cleanliness, ensuring it performs at its best for years to come. The Laowa 11mm f/ 4.5 FF RL Lens for Canon RF is not just a lens; it's a compact, lightweight, and versatile tool that enhances your photography experience, whether you're capturing the grandeur of a landscape, the complexity of architecture, or the warmth of an interior space.
