Product details

The Laowa 12 mm f/2.8 is currently the fastest super wide-angle lens for full-frame cameras, delivering nearly distortion-free photos. With an extreme field of view of 122° and straight lines, it creates fantastic landscape or architectural photos with a unique perspective. Despite its enormous focal length and brightness, it boasts outstanding optical quality. Two aspherical elements and three LD (low dispersion) elements ensure maximum sharpness, minimal distortion, and minimal chromatic aberration.
