About this item
Product details
In the mirrorless era where compactness matters, we’re bringing the legend back but lighter and optimized for mirrorless systems. The 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D FF features a compact design tailored for Full Frame mirrorless cameras, delivering an ultra-wide 122 degrees angle of view with Zero Distortion. Its large f/2.8 aperture offers greater flexibility in low-light conditions and allows for pleasing bokeh. Weighing only 377g (AF Sony E mount), this lightweight lens now also includes autofocus support for Sony E and Nikon Z mounts. Users can choose 5-blade aperture options to achieve their preferred 10-point sunstar effect. With its unique blend of portability and performance, this all-around wide-angle lens stands out as not only a rival on the market.
Ultra-Wide 122 degree View
Laowa’s original 12mm f/2.8 Zero D was one of the best sellers in our lineup. At a time when there were no non-fisheye 12mm options on the market, it stood out by breaking boundaries, offering an ultra-wide field of view with zero distortion. The new 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero D continues that legacy, delivering a 122-degree ultra-wide rectilinear angle of view with no rival on the market of mirrorless systems.
Zero Distortion
The Zero-D design ensures minimal distortion, allowing you to capture scenes with true-to-life accuracy, without correction in post. It’s an ideal choice for architecture and real estate photography, where a natural, undistorted look is essential.
Compact & Lightweight
Built for portability, this lens is lightweight and compact, weighing just around 0.83 lb / 377g (AF Sony E mount), making it easy to take wherever your creativity leads. It’s perfect for pairing with gimbals, drones, or street photography whenever you want to avoid the burden of heavy gear.
Bright f/2.8 Aperture
The large f/2.8 aperture offers excellent performance in low-light environments and creates a beautifully shallow depth of field, ideal for night scenes, astrophotography, and creative bokeh.
14cm Close Focusing Distance
This lens offers a close focusing distance of just 14cm (5.5 inches), allowing you to easily capture striking images up close and explore the possibilities of wide-angle macro photography.
72mm Filter Thread
The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D comes with a built-in 72mm filter thread, giving you the flexibility to easily use various filters, such as CPL or ND filters, to create your desired photographic effects.
- Ultra-Wide 122-degree Angle of View: Capture sweeping landscapes, dramatic architecture, and immersive interiors with an expansive field of view.
- Zero-Distortion: Features Laowa’s signature Zero-D (Zero Distortion) technology for true-to-life, rectilinear images, perfect for real estate and architectural photography.
- Fast f/2.8 Aperture: Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture excels in low-light conditions and allows for shallow depth of field, ideal for night scenes, astro, and artistic bokeh.
