Laowa Unveils Four Wide-Angle Vista Vision Lenses

The 9mm T5.8 and 10mm T2.9 stand as the widest rectilinear non-fisheye full-frame lenses in the cinematography market. With angles of view of 134.8° and 130.3° respectively, these lenses enable filmmakers to capture dynamic shots that were once impossible, particularly in tight or enclosed spaces. The 12mm T2.9 and 14mm T2.6 further extend the wide-angle line up with AOVs of 122° and 117.8°, providing ultra-wide perspectives to suit diverse shooting scenarios.

The ultra-wide design not only enhances the sense of space and depth but also creates dramatic, immersive visuals. Whether shooting expansive landscapes, confined interiors, or dynamic action sequences, these lenses empower filmmakers to achieve striking, exaggerated perspectives that elevate storytelling and visual impact.

Distortion is a common challenge with wide-angle lenses, but Laowa stands apart with its signature “Zero-Distortion” design. All four new wide-angle cine lenses render low-distortion images, with the 10mm, 12mm, and 14mm models achieving near-to-zero distortion. This innovative design eliminates the issues cinematographers often face when shooting architecture, interiors, or scenes with straight lines, ensuring accurate framing straight out of the camera— no post-production correction required.

Weighing just 520–640g (1.15–1.41 lbs), these lenses are exceptionally lightweight and versatile, making them ideal for a wide range of shooting setups, including gimbals, drones, handheld rigs, and other stabilizing equipment. Their compact design ensures seamless integration and effortless maneuverability, perfect for on-the-go filmmaking. Whether capturing dynamic shots or smooth camera movements, even in challenging environments, these lenses excel. Additionally, their smaller form factor provides greater flexibility in confined spaces, making them a practical and powerful tool for producing creative, high-quality footage in any scenario.
