Ultra-wide perspective 122°
The original Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero D is one of Laowa's best sellers.
At a time when there were no non-fisheye 12mm options on the market, it stood out for pushing the boundaries, offering an ultra-wide field of view with near-zero distortion.
The new 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero D continues this tradition, offering an ultra-wide 122° rectilinear angle of view that is unrivaled in the mirrorless system market.

Zero Distortion
The "Zero-D" design ensures near-zero distortion at infinity focusing, allowing you to capture scenes with true-to-life precision, without the need for post-production correction.

It is an ideal choice for architectural and real estate photography, where a natural, undistorted look is essential.

Excellent Image Quality
The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D FF is designed with an exceptional optical design, resulting in outstanding image clarity and excellent control of chromatic aberration (CA).
Compared to the original 12mm f/2.8 version, it shows a significant improvement in sharpness, even at the corners.

The second autofocus lens in the Laowa lineup, the 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero D brings fast and precise focus tracking to both Sony E and Nikon Z mounts, allowing photographers to embrace the convenience of autofocus with renowned Laowa quality.

f2.8 aperture
The large f/2.8 aperture offers excellent performance in low-light environments and creates an impressively shallow depth of field, ideal for night scenes, astrophotography, and creative bokeh.
