Venus Optics Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 CF Zoom Fisheye Lens - Sony E

Venus Optics Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 CF Zoom Fisheye Lens

The Venus Optics Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 CF Zoom Fisheye Lens is a compact manual-focus zoom for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds creators who need both circular and diagonal fisheye perspectives. Its 4.5-10mm range, constant f/2.8 aperture, and parfocal design support dramatic stills and smooth video zooms without changing lenses.

At 4.5mm, the lens produces a complete circular fisheye look; zooming toward 10mm creates an immersive diagonal fisheye image. The 175-180° angle of view suits action sports, astrophotography, landscapes, music videos, virtual tours, and experimental content. A 3.9-inch minimum focusing distance also enables exaggerated close-ups with expansive backgrounds.

Choose the mount that matches your camera system: Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, L-Mount, FUJIFILM X, Canon EF-M, or Micro Four Thirds. The optical design uses 13 elements in nine groups, while seven aperture blades provide manual exposure control from f/2.8 to f/22. At approximately 0.7 lb, the lens remains practical for handheld, gimbal, travel, and drone-oriented workflows.
