Third in the line-up of Laowa \u201cZero-D\u201d lenses, the 9mm f\/2.8 Zero-D shares the same excellent control of the optical distortion often found with ultra wide-angle lenses.<\/p>\n

Weighing in at just 215g and being only 53mm long, the compact and light lens comprises of 15 elements in 10 groups with two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements. According to Laowa, this optical design successfully minimises both distortion and chromatic aberrations, while managing to also deliver a superb optical performance from corner to corner.<\/p>\n

Giving a 35mm equivalent focal length of around 13mm (113 degree angle of view), and having a fast maximum aperture of f\/2.8, the lens is targeted towards astro-photographers, landscape photographers and low-light photographers.<\/p>\n

Features<\/h2>\n

Other features include a 7-blade aperture system, a 12cm minimum focusing distance and a maximum magnification of 1:7.5. A 49mm filter thread is also included for the addition of screw-in filters.<\/p>\n

Similar in optical design to the existing Laowa 7.5mm f\/2 lens for Micro Four Thirds and 15mm f\/2 Zero D for Sony full-frame mirrorless. However, by limiting the maximum aperture to f\/2.8, Venus Optics has made a lens that\u2019s almost as small as its Micro Four Thirds sibling.<\/p>\n

Available to buy in Canon EF-M, Sony E and Fuji X mounts, the Laowa 9mm f\/2.8 Zero-D lens is expected to start shipping from early April, a retail price of around \u00a3499 is expected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
