Extremely close focusing distance

In addition to the ultra-wide perspective, the new Laowa 9mm lens can focus extremely close, almost like a macro lens. The closest focusing distance is only 4.72” (12cm) measuring from subject to the sensor. This is so much closer than the other ultra-wide angle lenses in the market and it provides greater flexibility for photographers to compose shots at any distance, create wide-angle shots at close distances and control depth of field much more easily.

Perfect 10-point Sunstars

The 5-blade aperture system produces a pleasing sunstar rendering. Simply stop down the aperture by 1 stop and can create the perfect 10-point sunstars.

An exaggerated sense of space

With a remarkable 135° angle of view, the lens creates a sense of space by exaggerating the relative size of foreground objects. This lens is extremely useful for interior photography.

Focus Tab

Improve stability and speed when focusing with the integrated 'rangefinder-style' focus tab. This tab also hides an adjustment screw used to adjust the focus ring marking positions.
