OVERVIEW
PERSPECTIVE-BENDING RANGE
Laowa’s 12mm lens is lauded for achieving extremely wide fields of view with minimal distortion. This rectilinear ultra-wide can transform confined spaces into expansive arenas and transform architectural lines into striking compositional elements. While sharper and more modern than many vintage wides, it retains a naturalistic color balance.
