Venus Optics Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens (Hasselblad X)

Accessible, Versatile Fisheye Zoom

Offering dynamic distortion, a bright maximum aperture, and a wide angle of view, this Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens from Venus Optics is a medium format zoom lens designed for bold perspectives and artistic expression. The constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range and close minimum focusing distance of 6.3" make the lens an ideal tool for injecting some verve into landscapes, action sports, portraits, and more.

NOTE: The image circle of this Hasselblad X-mount lens does not provide full coverage to medium format sensors.

• Broad, 180? angle of view delivers edge-to-edge clarity without sacrificing image quality, ideal for 360? panoramas and astrophotography
• Compact and lightweight for a fisheye lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture, benefitting on-the-go content creation for vloggers and drone-based creators
• The minimum close focusing distance of 6.3" and large maximum aperture offer unique possibilities in close-up photography with pronounced subject separation and bokeh effects
