  • The Laowa 12mm T2.9 Lite Zero-D VV Cine is an ultra-wide, lightweight cine lens designed for full-frame and VistaVision cameras, offering an expansive 122° angle of view with near-zero distortion. This makes it a perfect choice for shooting architecture, landscapes, and immersive wide-angle scenes without compromising straight-line accuracy. With a minimum focusing distance of 14 cm (5.51 inches), it enables dramatic close-ups while maintaining excellent depth and perspective. The T2.9 aperture ensures optimal low-light performance and smooth, natural bokeh, providing cinematographers with greater creative flexibility in various lighting conditions.

    Built with 16 elements in 9 groups, the Laowa 12mm T2.9 Lite Zero-D VV Cine delivers outstanding optical quality with edge-to-edge sharpness and minimal chromatic aberration. Despite its ultra-wide design, the lens remains compact and lightweight, weighing only 458g (PL mount) or 552g (Sony E mount), making it well-suited for handheld, gimbal, and drone applications. The 77mm front filter thread allows easy attachment of ND and polarizing filters without the need for bulky matte boxes. Compatible with Arri PL, Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, and L mount, this versatile lens is an essential tool for filmmakers looking for high-performance wide-angle cinematography in a streamlined package.
