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

Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL Lens - Canon RF

The Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL Lens - Canon RF is, as of August 2020, likely the smallest and lightest ultra-wide-angle lens, boasting a 126° field of view, designed for mirrorless cameras with full-frame sensors. Despite its compact dimensions of only 5.8cm in length and weight of just 254 grams, the lens doesn't compromise on functionality, image quality, or construction.

Housed in a robust metal casing are 14 lenses, including 2 aspherical and 3 ED lenses, arranged in 10 groups. These contribute to superior sharpness, reduced color shifting, and minimized distortion. Its close-up limit being a short 19cm allows for creative wide-angle shots with sharp detail at close range.

The distinct characteristic of this lens is its 5 diaphragm blades, which produces an attractive 10-ray starburst when shooting towards sunlight or any point light source. This 11mm lens also stands out from many other ultra-wide-angle lenses that often have large spherical front elements. Instead, it has a small front lens and a 62mm filter thread, thus allowing for the use of 62mm screw filters and - using a holder available as an accessory - 100mm square filters. On Leica M cameras, a rangefinder coupling is utilized. Both the focus and aperture setting are manually adjusted. Owing to its minimal size and weight, the Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL is the optimal lens for landscape and indoor photography and is convenient to carry around.
