Most Ultra Wide Angle lenses suffer from an optical distortion rate from 2-5 which causes straight lines to bend. LAOWA Zero-D lenses are so well corrected, they achieve a close-to-zero distortion rate that is truly amazing.
If you are not so sure what distortion is, this article may help: What is Distortion?
* The aforementioned close-to-zero distortion rate is measured from shooting objects at infinity focus. The distortion rate may vary for shorter object distance. Only Optical Distortion (Barrel/ Pincushion/ Moustache) is covered here.
The LAOWA 12mm f/2.8 Lens covers an ultra-wide 122-degree angle of view, allowing you to create an outstanding landscape or architectural shot not possible with lesser lenses. Shooting interior shots will also become much easier. Your house will become spacious and impactful in your photos, even if you are shooting in tight spaces. Don't forget, this is the world's widest rectilinear f/2.8 lens.
Optical performance is what we will never compromise. 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 delivers high resolution from corner to corner, even in wide open (f/2.8) situations. Chromatic Aberration has also been controlled to the minimal.
Weighing only 609g, this is an everyday carry-around lens. It is really small compared to other UWA lenses in the market. Finally, you don't need to bring a hefty piece of glass for work and travel. And you can now attach 2 pcs of 100mm (not 150mm!!) ND filters & 1 pc of 105mm CPL filter without worrying about vignetting with the LAOWA 100mm filter holder system. Create your best landscape photos ever!
We would like to introduce the LAOWA Water & Dust Repelling Frog Eye Coating (FEC). Every LAOWA 12mm f/2.8 ZERO-D is coated with the new LAOWA Frog Eye Coating. It gives your lens an extra layer of protection. See below video to understand its benefits compared to traditional coatings.
