Laowa 6mm f/2 Zero-D MFT

Venus Optics now offering a photo version of their previously released 6mm T2.1 Cine lens. The new 6mm f/2 Zero-D MFT has the same exceptional image quality as the cine version but with more to offer. It is now packed with electrical contacts which allow users to control the aperture through the camera body and have EXIF being recorded. This tiny 188g lens can capture a 121.9-degree angle-of-view with close-to-zero distortion. With an f/2 large aperture and a 9cm closest focusing distance, the lens can create some very interesting perspectives.

The Laowa 6mm f/2 Zero-D is a breakthrough as the widest rectilinear option in the MFT market. With a 121.9° ultra-wide angle, the lens captivated users with the ability to capture more details in a scene and exaggerated perspective in tight space. Perfect for landscape, astrophotography, architectural or drone shots.
