With the 12 mm Cine lens, LAOWA presents the most extreme t/2.9 wide-angle lens for full-frame sensors. It is exceptionally light-sensitive, completely distortion-free, and has a very close focusing capability. Additionally, it is incredibly compact and affordable.

The LAOWA 12mm t/2.9 Zero-D Cine lens enables extreme wide-angle shots with all full-frame cameras, offering a field of view of 122 degrees in the highest quality.

The close focusing distance allows for shots with a minimum distance of just 18 cm from the sensor.
