LAOWA 12MM F2.8 ZERO-D FOR CANON RF

LAOWA 12MM F2.8 ZERO-D FOR CANON RF

World's widest f/2.8 lens with near-zero distortion.

With the widest angle of view (122°) ever offered from an f/2.8 lens, this is an ideal lens for a wide variety of shooting situations. From landscapes, architecture, interiors, and travel to the most important astronomical photography. The lens is the lightest and most compact in its class. Ideal for daily shooting. It also features near-zero optical distortion, allowing photographers to take landscape/architecture photos with straight lines retained. Our exclusive water and dust repellent "Frog Eye Coating" is added 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.

Most ultra-wide-angle lenses suffer from a 2-5% optical distortion rate, causing straight lines to bend. LAOWA Zero-D lenses are so well corrected that they achieve a near-zero distortion rate that is truly impressive.

The LAOWA 12mm f/2.8 lens covers an ultra-wide-angle view of 122°, allowing you to create an excellent landscape or architectural shot that is not possible with smaller lenses. Shooting interior shots will also be much easier. Your home will become spacious and striking in your photos, even if you are shooting in tight spaces. Remember, this is the world's widest rectilinear f/2.8 lens.

The optical design features 16 lens elements in 10 groups with 3 pieces of extra-low dispersion elements and 2 pieces of aspherical elements. This patented optical design offers high resolution from corner to corner, even in open situations (f/2.8). Chromatic aberration has also been kept to a minimum.

Weighing only 609 g, this is an everyday carry lens. It is really small compared to other UWA lenses on the market. Finally, there's no need to bring a heavy piece of glass for work and travel. And now you can attach 2 pieces of 100mm (not 150mm!!) ND filters and 1 piece of 105mm CPL filter, without worrying about vignetting, with the LAOWA 100mm filter holder system. Create your best landscape photos!

The LAOWA 12mm f/2.8 ZERO-D is currently the fastest 12mm full-frame, non-fisheye lens on the market. Astronomical photographers will truly appreciate our efforts to create a fast and well-corrected lens. The ultra-fast aperture can effectively shorten the required exposure time and help capture more details of the night sky. It has proven to be the perfect tool for a good shot of the Milky Way. The fast aperture is also very convenient for low-light/interior shooting.

The LAOWA 12mm f/2.8 ZERO-D adopts a floating optical design to ensure exceptional sharpness not only at infinity but also at close focusing distances. Along with a minimum focusing distance of 18 cm and a maximum magnification of 0.2x, this lens is also a fun tool to create some mini wide-angle macros.
