Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D (Sony E) lens

Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D (Sony E) lens

An ultra-wide-angle (113 degrees) lens for Sony APS-C format cameras. There is also a Laowa 9mm F5.6 FF version of this lens designed for full-frame cameras.

Although the lens has a wide angle of view, it is not a fisheye and the amount of distortion is minimal. This makes the Laowa 9mm great for not only star and landscape photography, but also for architectural photography.

The lens is compact and lightweight, making it also well suited for use with gimbals.

• Ultra wide-angle lens
• Minimal distortion: also suitable for architectural photography
• Color, contrast, and sharpness are excellent even at the edges
• 3 extra-low dispersion (ED) elements reduce chromatic aberration, i.e. color dispersion
• Fully manual

The lens is designed to maintain excellent color, contrast, and sharpness across the entire image area. The lens features three ED elements to prevent color dispersion, or chromatic aberration, in high-contrast areas.

The lens aperture ring has soft clicks that make it easy to select the desired aperture. This means you don't necessarily have to look at the aperture selected, but can focus on composing the image while adjusting the exposure with a 'key-feel' feel. The softness of the clicks also allows for a smooth transition between apertures when shooting video.
