Laowa 6mm T2.1 Zero-D MFT Cine Lens – Ultra-wide 121.9° Field of View with Near Zero Distortion

The Laowa 6mm T2.1 Zero-D MFT Cine Lens delivers a true ultra-wide perspective tailored for Micro Four Thirds cinema cameras. It provides an expansive 121.9° field of view while keeping distortion to a minimum thanks to Laowa’s Zero-D optical technology. Filmmakers can capture wide interiors, architecture, landscapes, and action with accurate straight lines and immersive framing.

Optical design and image quality

The lens uses an advanced optical construction of 13 elements arranged in 3 groups. Within that construction, it includes two aspherical elements and four extra-low dispersion elements. As a result, the lens produces sharp images with reduced chromatic aberration, while maintaining near distortion-free rendering for critical architectural and interior work.

Handling and control

Laowa equips this cine lens with standard 0.8 mod geared rings on both focus and aperture. These gears ensure smooth, repeatable adjustments and make the lens compatible with professional follow-focus systems and cine rigs. Both focus and aperture are manual, giving filmmakers direct, precise control over their shots.

Physical attributes and mounting

The lens is compact and lightweight at 180g, which makes it particularly well suited to rigs where size and weight matter. For example, you can use it on gimbals, drones, or handheld setups without adding excessive bulk. The robust all-metal build provides durability for regular use in professional filming environments.

Close focusing and creative use

With a minimum focusing distance of 9 cm, the Laowa 6mm allows for dramatic close-ups that emphasize foreground subjects while retaining a very wide perspective. This capability opens up creative options for immersive shots that combine exaggerated foreground elements with extensive background context.
