Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero Distort Sony E
A truly wide-angle prime featuring a rectilinear optical design, the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero Distort Sony E is specifically meant to limit distortion for clear and accurate portrayals of landscapes and architectural subjects. The optical construction also incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced color fringing. A Frog Eye Coating has been applied, too, to repel dust and moisture from the front element of the lens to benefit working in trying environmental conditions. Benefitting the optical attributes, this lens also features a precise manual focus design along with a floating optical system to maintain accurate rendering throughout the focus range, from 7.09 inch to infinity. Additionally, a petal-shaped lens hood is also incorporated into the lens’ design to reduce flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.

Focal Length and Aperture
The lens has a fixed focal length of 12mm, providing a very wide-angle field of view. The maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows for better low-light performance and shallow depth of field.
Zero-Distortion Design
The "Zero-D" in the lens name refers to its zero-distortion optical design. This means that the lens aims to minimize distortion, ensuring straight lines and accurate proportions in the captured images.
Optical Construction
The lens is constructed with 16 elements in 10 groups, including three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements and two aspherical elements. This optical arrangement helps to minimize chromatic aberrations and other optical distortions, delivering high image quality.
Manual Focus
The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 lens is a fully manual lens, which means you will need to manually adjust the focus. It provides a smooth focusing ring for precise and easy manual focusing.
