Laowa 10mm T2.1 Zero-D MFT Cine Lens - MFT

Laowa 10mm T2.1 Zero-D MFT Cine Lens — 96° Ultra-Wide Field of View with Near Zero Distortion

The Laowa 10mm T2.1 Zero-D MFT Cine Lens is an ultra-wide prime created for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) cinema cameras. It offers a 96° field of view and a bright T2.1 aperture, delivering expansive wide-angle imagery with strong low-light capability. Filmmakers will find it suitable for landscape, architectural, and interior cinematography, as well as for handheld, gimbal, and drone applications where compact size and minimal distortion matter.

Zero-D optical design for straight lines

The lens employs Laowa’s Zero-D (Zero Distortion) optical design to keep straight lines straight. As a result, the lens produces near distortion-free footage, which is crucial when shooting architecture and interiors. This characteristic helps maintain accurate perspectives in scenes that rely on geometric integrity.

Advanced optical construction

The lens uses an optical structure consisting of 11 elements in 7 groups. Within that construction, it features two aspherical elements and four extra-low dispersion elements. These components work together to provide high sharpness, reduced chromatic aberration, and consistent color rendering across the frame.

Cine-focused controls and build

The Laowa 10mm T2.1 Zero-D MFT includes standard 0.8 mod cine gears on both the focus and aperture rings. These geared rings integrate seamlessly with professional follow-focus systems and other cinema rigs. In addition, the lens offers manual focus and manual aperture control to give cinematographers precise and tactile adjustment during shoots.

Practical use and handling

Thanks to its compact and lightweight design, the lens adapts well to a variety of rigs. Use it handheld for immersive wide-angle shots, mount it on gimbals for stabilized motion, or fit it to drones where weight and size are critical. The short minimum focusing distance of 12 cm enables dramatic close-up compositions while preserving the ultra-wide perspective.

Durability

The lens features a robust all-metal build to withstand demanding filmmaking environments. Its metal construction supports reliable performance when used on professional sets and in field production scenarios.
