At the heart of the lens are up to 15 optical elements, arranged in 11 groups. All are characterized by high quality and precision workmanship. The use of 2 aspherical lenses and 3 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements effectively corrects spherical and chromatic aberration.

Stable Minimum Aperture of f/5.6

You will be hard-pressed to find another lens that offers such an affordable compact size, and yes, no matter what focal length you set, the aperture remains constant! A constant brightness level at different zoom settings will give you greater control over depth of field. Combined with the extremely short focus distance, you will create beautiful frames with shallow depth of field.

Compared to many competitors offering a 12-24mm zoom range, this model stands out for its light weight (497g) and compact dimensions (Ø69.4mm x 91.6mm). Combined with the high-quality optics encapsulated inside, the lens will allow you to capture the world around you in every corner you reach!

Beautiful 10-Point Stars

Want to spice up your photos with eye-catching special effects? Venus Optics Laowa has the recipe for that! With a specially designed aperture consisting of five straight leaves, you can achieve the effect of aesthetically pleasing and well-defined 10-point stars that appear in place of the sun or other light sources (such as street lamps).
