3 ZERO D WIDE ANGLE ANGLE 12mm f/2.8 Zero Distortion Canon / Nikon / Sony A / Pentax K / Sony E Featuring the widest field of view for a rectilinear f/2.8 lens, the Laowa 12mm is the ideal lens for a variety of genres. From landscape, architecture, interior, travel and most importantly, astro-photography, this lens offers photographers the ability to capture images that no other lens can. Class Leading distortion performance This lens features class-leading distortion performance, which has made Laowa lenses the workhorse of architectural photographers around the world. The only full frame lens wider than 15mm compatible with a 100mm ilter system The Laowa 12mm is incredibly light and small compared to other lenses of the same focal length and in this lies one of it s most appealing features - it is the only full frame lens wider than 16mm that is compatible with a 100mm square filter system. All other lenses wider than 15mm require the use of 150mm filter systems, which are large, cumbersome and very expensive. The use of filters is made possible by a bayonet-mount adapter for NISI s V5 Pro system and features their rear-mounted polarizer, allowing the use of a polarizer and any two square filters. Excellent Sharpness Across the Frame The center-frame sharpness of this lens is on par with very best from wide-open, peaking at f/5.6 - f/8, with diffraction becoming noticeable at f/16. Corner sharpness is slightly soft wide-open as can be expected with such a wide lens, but quickly improves from f/4.0 - f/5.6, with near-perfect corners from f/8 onwards. Cutting-Edge Nano Coating A hydrophobic Frog Eye Coating is added at the front element of the lens. Most reviews of this lens rave about how amazing this coating is - water beads perfectly and simply rolls off the front element, making it easy to clean if shooting rain or seaspray. 12mm Max. Aperture f/2.8 Angle of View Format Compatibility Full Frame 16 elements in 10 groups Aperture Blades 7 Min. Focusing Distance 18cm Max. Magnification 1:5 N/A 75 x 83mm 609g Built to Last Despite their compact size and price, Laowa lenses are assembled from the very best materials and are well-known for their fantastic build-quality and solid feel.

4 ZERO D WIDE ANGLE ANGLE 9mm f/2.8 Zero Distortion Fuji X, Sony E, Canon EF-M With a 113 degree view, the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D is the widest rectilinear lens available for the Fuji system, but also one of the lightest and smallest. It features a high-quality metal build that ensures the lens will last, yet weighs only 215g. This lens offers a manual aperture range of f/2.8 to f/22, making it a great lens for astrophotography. Sharpness The build comprises 15 elements in 10 groups, including 3 extralow dispersion elements, which makes for fantastic control of chromatic aberration and excellent resolving capability. Center frame sharpness is class-leading throughout the aperture range and corners sharpness is perfect from f/8 onwards. Zero Distortion Like it s bigger brothers, Laowa s incredible Zero-D technology shows in this lens, which is the absolute class leader and shows as close to zero distortion as you can get. Frog Eye Coating It also features their amazing hydrophobic Frog-eye nano-coating, which makes rain and seaspray roll off the front element like water off a duck s back. This makes it quick and easy to clean when shooting in wet conditions. Vignetting 9mm Max. Aperture f/2.8 Angle of View 113 (13.5mm on FF) Format Compatibility APS-C 15 elements in 10 groups Aperture Blades 7 Min. Focusing Distance 12cm Max. Magnification 1:7.5 49mm 60 x 53mm 215g the compact and complex design of this lens creates a heavy vignette of 2-3 stops at the widest apertures. This is reduced to less than one stop at f/5.6 and onwards. A vignette can be used as a creative complement or it can be removed with a single click during the RAW development. A minimum focusing distance of just 12cm offers fantastic closeup opportunities

5 ZERO D WIDE ANGLE ANGLE The ultimate wide angle for DJI Zenmuse System 7.5mm f/2 Zero Distortion MFT World s Widest rectilinear f/2 lens for Micro Four Third cameras. This lens is currently the widest rectilinear lens currently in the market for Micro Four Thirds Cameras. It gives a field of view equivalent to 15mm lenses in 35mm sensors. This allows MFT users to enjoy an impressive 110 ultra wide angle of view for a wide range of shooting needs despite the 2x crop factor. The wide angle of view and ultra-fast aperture are extremely valuable for astro-photography. This lens is super compact and lightweight for casual on-the-go use. A ultra-light version is also available for aerial photography usage. Laowa 7.5mm f/2 MFT is compatible with Panasonic, Olympus & Blackmagic cameras with Micro Four Thirds mount. Lightweight version is specially designed for drones & gimbal usage with a lighter weight. Please note that the lens has no electronics connections with the drones/gimbals and hence, no electronics control on aperture/focus. 7.5mm Max. Aperture f/2 Angle of View 110 Format Compatibility MFT 13 elements in 9 groups Aperture Blades 7 Max. Magnification 0.11 : 1 46mm 50 x 55mm 170g (Standard Version) 150g (Lightweight Version)

6 ZERO D WIDE ANGLE ANGLE 15mm f/2 Zero Distortion Sony E The ultra wide, fast & compact prime for your Sony full frame E mount camera.

7 RANGE 25mm f/ x - 5x Canon / Nikon / Pentax K / Sony FE Welcome to the most revolutionary lens to hit the macro world in a very long time. Until now, 5x magnification has only been available to Canon shooters, but that is about to change. The Laowa 25mm f/2.8 offers magnification of 2.5x - 5x for Canon, Nikon, Sony and Pentax shooters in a compact, high-quality lens at a fantastic price. Image Quality This lens holds it s weight against the Canon 65mm mpe macro in every single criteria. Sharpness across the frame is outstanding at all apertures, with sharpness peaking at around f/8 Size, and Build As with all Laowa lenses, this model features an incredibly tough and reliable construction that is made to last and can be used outdoors with confidence. One of the greatest features of this lens is it s small front-end, which minimizes the shadow cast on the subject by the lens and also allows shooting a subject less than 30mm off the ground. Working Distance This lens is specially designed for a longer working distance, which varies from 45mm at 2.5x to 40mm at 5x. This minimizes the shadow cast on the subject by the lens as well as negating reflections of the camera in reflective subjects. 25mm Max. Aperture f/2.8 Angle of View 10.3 Format Compatibility Full Frame & APS-C 8 elements in 6 groups Aperture Blades 8 Min.

We offer the 25mm lens and flash in a bundle at a discounted price.

8 RANGE 7MM Minimum Focusing distance 15mm f/4 1:1 Macro Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Sony FE This lens offers an incredible minimum focusing distance of just 7mm (yes, millimeters, not centimeters), making it the world s widest macro lens by a hell of a margin. It gives photographers the unique opportunity to show insects in their enviroment and opens up worlds that were previously impossible to capture. This lens offers 1:1 magnification. Shift Function This lens also features a 4mm shift function, which is great for correcting perspective distortion when shooting at extreme angles. Macro vs. Landscape This lens makes for a great budget wide-angle, but it s important to note that its incredible macro abilities come at a price. The corners are soft at wide apertures, but perform perfectly if stopped down. It also suffers from heavy moustache distortion - it is thus important to note that his lens is primarily for macro use. 15mm Max.

10 RANGE KX-800 Dual Macro Flash The Laowa KX-800 twinflash is a revolutionary offering in the flash world and certainly looks the part. The flash-heads are mounted on two articulating arms that measure 45cm in length and in this lies the revolution it is the only on-camera macro flash that allows the photographer to illuminate a subject from any angle. The lights can be positioned below, above, behind or on the sides of the subject and this opens up a new world of possibilities. The central arm is a powerful constant-light LED to assist with the focus and composition in macro photography. This is especially important with Laowa s manual aperture lenses, which result in a very dark viewfinder at small apertures. This flash uses standard AA batteries and has a super simple interface that is easy to operate. The power of each flash as well as the LED light can be adjusted individually for maximum lighting flexibility and power efficiency.
