Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D - Canon EF

Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D is a manual-focus full-frame ultra-wide prime with an f/2.8 maximum aperture. It is known for very low distortion for such an extreme field of view, making it a strong option for architecture, interiors, landscapes and night-sky work where straight lines matter. The lens uses a large 86mm front filter thread, which is unusual and useful for those who want to avoid rear-filter compromises, but it is a substantial piece of glass rather than a small travel lens. Close-focusing ability is one of its strengths, letting you work very near subjects for dramatic perspective effects. There is no autofocus or image stabilisation, so it suits photographers who are happy to focus manually and compose deliberately, especially on mirrorless bodies with focus aids. Used buyers should check that the focus ring turns smoothly, the aperture mechanism is clean and responsive where applicable to the mount, and the front and rear elements are free from haze, fungus, scratches or heavy cleaning marks. Also inspect the mount for wear and, if included, confirm the lens caps and hood are present.
