Ultra-Wide Circular Fisheye. The Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Fisheye’s ultra-wide 210° angle of view lets you make full 360° stitched panoramas with just two shots, and gives you the flexibility to take all manner of artsy shots. The bright f/2.8 aperture makes it great for shooting in low light, and the fisheye design retains almost full depth of field when stopped down to f/5.6. You can use the 3.1-inch minimum focusing distance and ultra-wide perspective to get great bokeh shots and wide-angle close-ups.
Incredible Sharpness. This lens’s six-group/seven-element optical design keeps distortion at an absolute minimum so that you get outstanding sharpness from center to edge. This is especially beneficial when you’re de-fishing an image or cropping out its center for a wide-angle shot.
Ultra-Compact Build. This lens’s small, lightweight design makes it ideal for use on drones, and for VR imaging, virtual tours, and capturing action-intensive sports.
Fully Manual Lens. This is a fully manual lens that provides no electronic communication with the camera. You must manually make all aperture and focus adjustments on the lens itself, and lens information is not transferred through EXIF data.
Micro 4/3 Mount. This fisheye lens was designed for use on Micro 4/3 mount cameras, on which it gives you a 8mm-equivalent focal length.
