This lens, featuring the widest angle of view (122°) ever offered by an AF / 2.8 lens, is ideal for a variety of shooting situations, from landscapes and architecture to interiors and astrophotography. It is the lightest and most compact in its class, making it perfect for everyday photography. The lens also boasts near-zero optical distortion, allowing photographers to capture landscape and architectural shots with straight lines. Our exclusive water and dust-resistant "Frog Eye Coating" is applied to the front element of the lens. For maximum creativity, you can use CPL or ND filters by adding an optional Laowa 100mm filter holder system.

Mittig überzeugt das 1200 Euro teure Ultra-Weitwinkel ohne AF schon offen, abgeblendet legt es etwas zu. Der Randabfall ist offen besonders beim Kontrast kräftig. Dazu kommt eine Vignettierung von 2,5 Blenden. Abblenden verbessert beides signifikant. Ist also die Offenblende nur in der Mitte gut nutzbar, passt abgeblendet das ganze Bildfeld.
