Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens – 113° Ultra-Wide View with Near-Zero Distortion

The Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens is an ultra-wide-angle prime made for APS-C mirrorless cameras. It delivers a striking 113° field of view and focuses on preserving straight lines and realistic perspectives. As a result, it suits photographers who shoot landscapes, architecture, interiors, astrophotography, and other creative wide-angle projects.

Designed Optical Performance

Laowa builds this lens around its Zero-D (Zero Distortion) optical concept. Consequently, the lens produces near-perfect distortion-free images that maintain straight lines—an important benefit for architectural and interior work. Additionally, the optical formula includes 15 elements in 10 groups with two aspherical and three extra-low dispersion elements to reduce chromatic aberration and improve sharpness and clarity.

The bright f/2.8 aperture performs well in low-light settings. Therefore, you can use the lens for astrophotography and other dynamic low-light scenes where extra light-gathering helps capture detail.
