The Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Fisheye for L-Mount is a compact circular fisheye lens with an exceptionally wide field of view designed for crop sensor cameras with the Leica L mount. Key features include:

  • Compact circular fisheye with a 210° angle of view

  • Great for VR imaging, virtual tours, and 360° panoramas

  • Retains +/- full depth of field when stopped down to f/5.6

  • Incredible sharpness; accurate, fully manual focusing

Ultra-Wide Circular Fisheye. The Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Fisheye’s ultra-wide 210° angle of view lets you make full 360° stitched panoramas with just two shots, and gives you the flexibility to take all manner of artsy shots. The bright f/2.8 aperture makes it great for shooting in low light, and the fisheye design retains almost full depth of field when stopped down to f/5.6. You can use the 3.1-inch minimum focusing distance and ultra-wide perspective to get great bokeh shots and wide-angle close-ups.

Incredible Sharpness. This lens’s six-group/seven-element optical design keeps distortion at an absolute minimum so that you get outstanding sharpness from center to edge. This is especially beneficial when you’re de-fishing an image or cropping out its center for a wide-angle shot.

Ultra-Compact Build. This lens’s small, lightweight design makes it ideal for use on drones, and for VR imaging, virtual tours, and capturing action-intensive sports.

Fully Manual Lens. This is a fully manual lens that provides no electronic communication with the camera. You must manually make all aperture and focus adjustments on the lens itself, and lens information is not transferred through EXIF data.

Q & A

  • Are there any special considerations that I should be aware of?
    • Fisheye lenses distort perspective to such an extreme degree that you might not realize how close you are to your subject. Please stay conscious of this while shooting, as the front element on this lens is fully exposed once the push-on front cap is removed.

  • Please note, this lens will only cover crop sized crop sensors, NOT full frame sensors.
