In the mirrorless era where compactness matters, we’re bringing the legend back but lighter and optimized for mirrorless systems. The 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D FF features a compact design tailored for Full Frame mirrorless cameras, delivering an ultra-wide 122 degrees angle of view with Zero Distortion. Its large f/2.8 aperture offers greater flexibility in low-light conditions and allows for pleasing bokeh. Weighing only 377g (AF Sony E mount), this lightweight lens now also includes autofocus support for Sony E and Nikon Z mounts. Users can choose 5-blade aperture options to achieve their preferred 10-point sunstar effect. With its unique blend of portability and performance, this all-around wide-angle lens stands out as not only a rival on the market.

Ultra-Wide 122 degree View

Laowa’s original 12mm f/2.8 Zero D was one of the best sellers in our lineup. At a time when there were no non-fisheye 12mm options on the market, it stood out by breaking boundaries, offering an ultra-wide field of view with zero distortion. The new 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero D continues that legacy, delivering a 122-degree ultra-wide rectilinear angle of view with no rival on the market of mirrorless systems.

Zero Distortion

The Zero-D design ensures minimal distortion, allowing you to capture scenes with true-to-life accuracy, without correction in post. It’s an ideal choice for architecture and real estate photography, where a natural, undistorted look is essential.

Compact & Lightweight

Built for portability, this lens is lightweight and compact, weighing just around 0.83 lb / 377g (AF Sony E mount), making it easy to take wherever your creativity leads. It’s perfect for pairing with gimbals, drones, or street photography whenever you want to avoid the burden of heavy gear.

Bright f/2.8 Aperture

The large f/2.8 aperture offers excellent performance in low-light environments and creates a beautifully shallow depth of field, ideal for night scenes, astrophotography, and creative bokeh.

14cm Close Focusing Distance

This lens offers a close focusing distance of just 14cm (5.5 inches), allowing you to easily capture striking images up close and explore the possibilities of wide-angle macro photography.

72mm Filter Thread

The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D comes with a built-in 72mm filter thread, giving you the flexibility to easily use various filters, such as CPL or ND filters, to create your desired photographic effects.
