Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine Lens - Sony FE

Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D VV Cine Lens for Sony FE

Capture expansive scenes with remarkable clarity using this ultra-wide 12mm cine lens from Laowa. Designed for Sony E-mount cameras, it delivers a 122° field of view with excellent edge-to-edge sharpness and very low distortion, making it a strong choice for cinematic storytelling, architecture, interiors, and visual effects work.

Built to cover both Full Frame and Vista Vision sensors, the lens uses a 46.31 mm image circle to ensure generous coverage across formats. Despite its wide-angle performance, it remains impressively compact and lightweight, which makes it easy to balance on gimbals, drones, handheld rigs, and other production setups.

The Zero-D design helps keep straight lines looking natural throughout the frame, even at the edges. This makes the lens especially useful when accuracy and clean perspective are important. With a fast T2.9 aperture, it also performs confidently in low-light conditions while giving you creative control over depth and atmosphere.

Close focusing down to 14 cm allows you to place foreground subjects prominently against sweeping backgrounds, adding depth and energy to your compositions. Standard 0.8 mm geared rings support smooth operation with professional follow focus systems, helping you work efficiently on set.
