Versatile Ultra-Wide Cine Prime. The Venus Optics Laowa 9mm T5.8 Zero-D VV Cine’s ultra-wide 134.8° angle of view makes it great for landscape shooting, outdoor shooting, and working in interior locations where space is at a premium, but it’s also conducive to more outré, artistic work. When combined with the 4.7-inch minimum focusing distance, the angle of view lets you take surreal, dramatic photos that play extensively with depth and scale.

Virtually Distortion-Free. This lens’s rectilinear ten-group/fourteen-element optical design keeps distortion at an absolute minimum, a rarity for an ultra-wide lens. Its fourteen-blade aperture gives you pleasing bokeh; unique wide and shallow depth of field; and the aforementioned, extremely close 4.7-inch focusing distance.

Professional-Grade Cinema Housing. The aperture and focusing rings boast standard 0.8 mod gears so that you can easily install a follow-focus system, while the 80mm front diameter makes using lens accessories a snap. The smooth 90° focus throw gives you exacting control. This lens’s lightweight, compact design makes it a perfect match for hand-held rigs, drones, and gimbals.
