Double Fisheye Effect
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye lens offers a versatile double fisheye effect, seamlessly switching between two visual styles on full-frame cameras.
At the minimum focal length of 8mm, the lens produces a circular fisheye effect, capturing a 180° field of view.
At the maximum focal length of 15mm, it switches to a full-frame rectangular fisheye effect, filling the entire sensor with characteristic fisheye distortion.
The zoom allows you to switch between two effects without changing lenses, increasing the flexibility of photography and videography applications.
Up to 180° Fisheye Effect
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens offers an extra-wide view, with a wide 180° angle of view at the focal length of 8mm on full-frame cameras.
This expansive perspective captures vast scenes in a single frame, producing a dramatic circular fisheye effect with pronounced curvature, ideal for immersive landscapes, astrophotography and 360° panoramas.
As the lens switches to 15mm, the angle of view narrows slightly, filling the full-frame sensor with a rectangular fisheye image that maintains a wide, distorted perspective.
Constant Aperture
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens boasts a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 throughout the 8-15mm zoom range, ensuring exceptional low-light performance as well as creative flexibility.
The wide aperture ensures consistent light capture, excelling in challenging conditions such as astrophotography, interiors or evening shots. It allows for a shallow depth of field, allowing photographers to isolate subjects with pleasing background blur, enhancing the dramatic fisheye effect for portraits or action shots.
Short Minimum Focusing Distance
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens features a minimum focusing distance of 16cm (6.3"), allowing photographers and videographers to capture subjects at close range with stunning visual impact.
This close focusing capability enhances the lens's fisheye distortion, providing an exaggerated point of view (POV).
Furthermore, close focusing simulates the bugeye effect, creating a playful, almost cartoonish distortion where subjects appear disproportionately large, adding a unique and bold aesthetic to images and videos.
Full Frame Coverage
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens offers full-frame coverage, unlocking the full potential of high-resolution cameras.
This feature provides a true 180° circular fisheye effect at 8 mm and a 15 mm rectangular fisheye, providing edge-to-edge clarity and the widest possible angle of view without cropping. Full-frame compatibility enhances image quality, low-light performance, and creative flexibility, making it perfect for expansive landscapes, immersive 360° panoramas, and astrophotography.
