Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens with Dual Effect Ultra-Wide 180-Degree View (Canon RF, Black)
Introducing the Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye, a one-of-a-kind addition to Laowa’s innovative lens lineup. Designed for photographers and content creators seeking bold, creative perspectives, this lens delivers a dual fisheye effect with a versatile zoom range and an ultra-fast f/2.8 aperture. Compatible with full-frame cameras, it offers unparalleled flexibility for capturing expansive landscapes, compact cities, action sports, and 360-degree panoramas.
Dual Fisheye Effect
Delivers a versatile dual fisheye effect, seamlessly transitioning between two distinct visual styles on full-frame cameras. At the 8mm end, the lens produces a circular fisheye effect, capturing a 180-degree field of view. At the 15mm end, it transitions to a full-frame rectangular fisheye effect, filling
the entire sensor with the characteristic fisheye distortion. The zoom capability allows creators to switch between these effects without changing lenses, enhancing flexibility for photography and videography applications.
Max. 180-degree Distorted Image
Offers an extra-wide view, delivering a sweeping 180-degree angle of view at its 8mm focal length on full-frame cameras. This expansive perspective captures vast scenes in a single frame, producing a dramatic circular fisheye effect with pronounced curvature, ideal for immersive landscapes, astrophotography, and 360-degree panoramas. As the lens zooms to 15mm, the angle of view narrows slightly, filling the full-frame sensor with a rectangular fisheye image that retains a wide, distorted perspective.
Close Focusing Distance
Features a minimum focusing distance of 16cm (6.3 in.), enabling photographers and videographers to capture subjects at close range with striking visual impact. This close focusing capability enhances the lens’s fisheye distortion, delivering an exaggerated point of view (POV). Additionally, the close focus mimics a bugeye effect, creating a playful, almost cartoonish distortion where subjects appear disproportionately large, adding a unique and bold aesthetic to images and videos.
Full Frame Coverage
Offers full-frame coverage, unlocking the full potential of high-resolution cameras. This feature delivers a true 180-degree circular fisheye effect at 8mm and a rectangular fisheye at 15mm, ensuring edge-to-edge clarity and maximum angle of view without cropping. Full-frame compatibility enhances image quality, low-light performance, and creative flexibility, making it perfect for expansive landscapes, immersive 360-degree panoramas, astrophotography.
