LAOWA 10MM F2 ZERO-D MFT

Venus Optics Laowa 10mm f / 2 Micro Four Thirds Zero-D Lens

Ultra-wide and ultra-compact, the Venus Optics Laowa 10mm f / 2 Zero-D is a Micro Four Thirds prime lens characterized by its elegant form factor and impressive wide angle of view. The portable design makes it particularly suitable for drone and vlogging applications and the wide-angle field of view is ideal for architecture, landscape, interior and astrophotography subjects.
As a Zero-D lens, distortion is very well controlled and the optical design uses aspherical and low dispersion elements to minimize a variety of aberrations for high sharpness and clarity. It has a manual focus design, with a minimum focus distance of 4.7 ", and a built-in CPU and motor allow for intuitive camera-based control over aperture settings. In addition, a petal-shaped lens hood is also available. Built into the lens design. to reduce flare and ghosting when working in bright lighting conditions.
Prime ultra wide angle is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 20mm equivalent focal length.
The bright maximum aperture of f / 2 is suitable for working in low and difficult lighting conditions.
The rectilinear design renders subjects with minimal distortion to suit architectural and landscape applications.
Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing to increase clarity and color neutrality.
Two aspherical elements limit spherical aberrations to improve sharpness and control distortion.
The manual focus design offers a minimum focus distance of 4.7 ".
The five-blade diaphragm produces distinct 10-point sun stars when working with smaller aperture settings.
The integrated CPU chip and engine allow camera-based control over aperture settings and also transfer Exif data to record lens setting metadata.
The integrated petal-shaped hood protects the lens from stray light to reduce flare and ghosting and also protects the front elements from accidental impacts.
