Description

Discover the transformative power of the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens for Canon EF, a revolutionary ultra-wide angle lens that redefines the standards of photography. Unlike many ultra-wide angle lenses on the market that suffer from significant barrel distortion and poor peripheral sharpness, this innovative lens from Venus Optics has been meticulously designed to overcome these challenges, offering photographers a truly perfect tool for capturing breathtaking images.

The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D stands out with its close-to-zero distortion rate, a feature that ensures straight lines stay straight, making it an ideal choice for architectural and landscape photography. Covering an ultra-wide 122-degree angle of view, this lens allows you to capture expansive landscapes and architectural shots with unparalleled detail and impact.

This lens is also the world's widest rectilinear f/2.8 lens, offering superior optical performance without compromise. The patented optical design features 16 lens elements in 10 groups, including 3 Extra-Low Dispersion Elements and 2 Aspherical Elements. This unique configuration ensures high resolution from corner to corner, even in wide open (f/2.8) situations, and keeps chromatic aberration to a minimum.

Despite its powerful performance, the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D lens is compact and lightweight at just 1.34 lbs (609g), making it an ideal everyday lens for both professional and hobbyist photographers. It also features an optional filter holder that can accommodate two 100mm Neutral Density (ND) filters and one 105mm Circular Polarizer (CPL) filter, allowing you to further enhance your landscape photography.

With its ultra-fast aperture, this lens is perfect for capturing stunning night sky shots, low-light indoor scenes, and panoramic images with close-to-zero distortion. Its floating optical design ensures exceptional sharpness at both infinity focus and close focusing distances, making it a versatile tool for wide-angle macro photography.

The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D lens is also coated with the new Laowa 'Frog Eye' Coating for added protection, and can be transformed into a 17mm f/4 Professional Shift Lens with the Laowa Magic Shift Converter, providing a maximum of 10mm shift capability for Full-Frame E-mount cameras. This makes it an invaluable tool for professional architectural photography. Experience the difference with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens for Canon EF, and elevate your photography to new heights.
