Laowa 9mm f5.6 FF RL Lens- Black for Leica M

This Laowa 9mm f2.8 Zero-D lens is a seriously compact, ultra-wide-angle lens made specifically for APS-C mount cameras. It offers an equivalent 13.5mm focal length, as well as limiting distortion to achieve an accurate portrayal of landscape and architectural subjects. This lens also offers an optical construction consisting of a pair of aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements. These control spherical and chromatic aberrations to improve corner to corner sharpness and reduced colour fringing. This high-performing prime lens covers up to 113° angle of view - the widest in its class. The Laowa 9mm f2.8 lens is a perfect match for mirrorless cameras due to its lightweight construction and compact size; suitable for use on most gimbals. A Frog Eye Coating repels dust and moisture from the front element of the lens, enabling use in trying environmental conditions.

Ultra-Wide-Angle

The Laowa 9mm f2.8 Zero-D Lens is a seriously exciting prime lens that provides a 13.5mm equivalent focal length. The bright f2.8 maximum aperture is also well-suited to low and tricky lighting conditions. These could include cityscape photography at dusk, architectural photography where the interior space is poorly lit, or extended landscape shooting where the light is beginning to fade.Further to this, its rectilinear design minimises subject distortion and accurately captures straight lines in an image, ideal for landscape and architectural photography. In addition, three extra-low dispersion elements minimise chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for improved clarity and colour neutrality. Two aspherical elements further limit spherical aberration for an even sharper image.

Purposeful Design

By adding a Frog Eye Coating to the 9mm f2.8 Zero-D, you are now able to venture further afield due to its ability to repel both dust and moisture. Alongside a smooth manual focus design offering a minimum focus distance of 12cm (4.7”), this lens incorporates a built-in petal-shaped lens hood to shield stray light - reducing flare and ghosting. It also acts to protect the front element of the lens from accidental damage.

FAQs:

What does ‘Rectilinear Optics’ mean?

Rectilinear optics describe the ability of a specialised lens to remove optical distortion - a common issue with wide-angle lenses at infinity focus. This means that little to no barrel or pincushioning will occur, and lines that may have been warped/fish-eyed become straightened.
