LAOWA 12MM F2.8 ZERO - D - P/NIKON Z

LAOWA 12MM F2.8 ZERO - D - P/NIKON Z

Widest f/2.8 lens in the world 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 landscape, architecture, interiors, travel to more important astrophotography. 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 "Frog Eye Coating" water and dust repellent is added to the front element of the lens. For maximum creativity, you can use CPL or ND filters by adding an optional 100mm Laowa filter holder system.

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

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 lesser lenses. Shooting interior shots will also be much easier. Your home will become spacious and impactful in your photos, even if you're shooting in tight spaces. Don't forget, 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 minimized.

Weighing only 609g, this is a carry-everyday lens. It is really small compared to other UWAs on the market. Finally, 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 1pc 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 non-fisheye 12mm full-frame 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 exposure time required and help achieve more details of the night sky. It has proven to be the perfect tool for a good Milky Way shot. 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 18cm and a maximum magnification of 0.2x, this lens is also a fun tool for creating some mini wide-angle macros.
