Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D Lens - (5 Blade Aperture)

In the mirrorless era where compactness matters we're bringing the legend back but lighter and optimised for mirrorless systems.

The 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D FF features a compact design tailored for Full Frame mirrorless cameras, delivering an ultra-wide 122° angle of view in a rectilinear lens with incredible distortion control.

The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D Lens with a 5 Blade Aperture features a large f/2.8 aperture for excellent low-light performance and smooth bokeh. Weighing just 0.503 Kg, this lightweight lens delivers a wide 12mm view with minimal distortion, perfect for landscapes, architecture, and interiors. It offers great optical quality in a compact, easy-to-carry design.

Users can choose 5-blade aperture options to achieve their preferred 10-point sunstar effect. With its unique blend of portability and performance, this all-rounded wide-angle lens stands with no rival on the market.

Note:
During focusing when the aperture is stopped down, a faint operational sound may be audible. This is a normal characteristic of the lens and does not impact optical performance or functionality.
