Venus Optics Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL Lens for Canon RF

An ultra-wide field of view along with a sleek design, the Canon RF-mount Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL from Venus Optics is a unique wide-angle prime with rectilinear rendering that is ideal for interior, architecture, nature, and landscape applications. The huge 126° angle of view is aided by an advanced optical design, which includes aspherical high refractive index, and low dispersion elements, to realize well-corrected, sharp, and color-accurate imagery. The lens has a manual focus design and permits working with subjects as close as 7.5" away and its built-in petal-shaped hood helps to block stray light from causing unwanted lens flare.

Ultra-wide prime is designed for full-frame RF-mount mirrorless cameras but can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 16.5mm equivalent focal length.

Two aspherical elements and one ultra-high refractive index glass element help to control distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.

Three extra-low dispersion elements are used to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce high clarity and color accuracy.

Impressively wide 126° angle of view pairs with a rectilinear design, which renders subjects with minimal distortion in order to suit landscape and architectural applications.

Manual focusing design is benefitted by an integrated focusing tab for intuitive handling and a minimum focusing distance of 7.5" suits working with close-up subjects.

Built-in petal-shaped lens hood helps to prevent stray light from causing lens flare and also offers some physical protection to the lens s front element.

Front of the lens is threaded to accept optional 62mm filters. The lens is also compatible with an optional, dedicated 100mm filter holder.

Five-blade diaphragm produces distinct 10-point sun stars and specular highlights when stopped-down and photographing point light sources.
