Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL Lens for Sony E-Mount

The Widest Rectilinear lens for Full Frame cameras.

Designed for full-frame cameras, the Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL is currently the world’s widest rectilinear lens. The remarkable 135° angle of view allows you to capture landscape images with ease and realize formerly impossible shots. The lens includes 2 aspherical elements and 2 extra-low dispersion elements to suppress chromatic aberrations and distortion to the minimum. Despite the one-of-a-kind perspective, the lens itself is super compact (2.4″ / 6cm long) and weighs only 12.3 oz. / 350 g. It also features an extremely close focusing distance of 4.72″ / 12cm (from subject to the sensor) for photographers to create mini macro shots with an ultra-wide perspective.

Featuring a remarkable 135° angle of view, the new Laowa 9mm f/5.6 is currently the widest non-fisheye lens ever developed for full-frame mirrorless cameras. The ultra-wide angle of view is particularly helpful for interior as it helps exaggerated the sense of space. The one-of-a-kind perspective also helps us realize a lot of formerly impossible shots.

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 Sun-stars

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

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.
