Laowa 8-16mm f/3.5-5 Zoom CF – Ultra-wide 121.9° to 83.3° field of view for expansive scenes
The Laowa 8-16mm f/3.5-5 Zoom CF delivers an ultra-wide focal range that helps photographers and filmmakers capture dramatic perspectives and expansive scenes. It covers an 8–16mm zoom range and provides a field of view from 121.9° down to 83.3°, making it suitable for landscapes, architectural interiors, travel work, and immersive video projects.
Wide-angle flexibility and everyday portability
With its 8–16mm zoom range, the lens gives you creative flexibility across ultra-wide angles. The variable aperture of f/3.5–5 to f/22 allows you to manage brightness and depth of field across the zoom range, so you can adapt to different lighting situations. In addition, the lens features a compact and lightweight design, which makes it practical for handheld shooting, travel, and long shooting days without sacrificing comfort.
Optical design that controls distortion and color fringing
The Laowa 8-16mm uses advanced glass elements, including extra-low dispersion (ED) and aspherical elements. These components work together to reduce distortion and chromatic aberration, which helps maintain sharpness and accurate color reproduction from the center to the edges of the frame. As a result, the lens supports clear, vibrant images even at the widest settings.
