Ultra wide-angle 9mm f/2.8 prime is designed for APS-C-format Canon EF-M-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 14.4mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture is well-suited to working in low and difficult lighting conditions.
Rectilinear design renders subjects with minimal distortion in order to suit landscape and architectural applications.
Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and color neutrality. Two aspherical elements are also featured to limit spherical aberrations for improved sharpness.
A Frog Eye Coating has been applied to repel both dust and moisture for added protection when working in inclement conditions.
Manual focus design offers a minimum focusing distance of 4.7".
Built-in petal-shaped lens hood shields the lens from stray light to reduce flare and ghosting and also protects the front elements from accidental impacts.

It does not. This is for EF-M cameras, which is a different system. It will not work with the 6D's EF Mount.

Do this lens fit on my eos 6D?
Asked by: Alonso
No this lens is built for the EF-M mount, you would need one that is built for the EF mount since you are using it on a Canon 6D which is a Full Frame sensor.

will this lense vignette with the BMPCC6k?
Asked by: Rodrigo
The Venus Optics Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens for Canon EF-M is not compatible for use on the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K. The Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 6K uses the Canon EF and EF-S lens mount, while the Venus Optics Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens listed above is designed for the smaller Canon EF-M lens mount. There is no lens mount adapter designed to connect EF-M mount lenses on the larger EF/EF-S lens mount.

Will this vignette if paired with a Metabones speedbooster on the bmpcc 4k?
Asked by: Red
This is a Canon EF-M mount lens, it is not an EF lens. There is no adapter we are aware of that allows you to use EF-M lenses on the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K with an MFT mount. However, Venus offers this same lens for MFT cameras, it is B&H # VE928MFT. You can connect the link below directly to the Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. https://bhpho.to/2Xi9JmU

Will MFT plus MFT-SonyE adapter gives an 18mm or 13.5mm equivalent lens coverage?
Asked by: Allen
According to our data, the Sony E mount version of the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens, would have a 13.5mm equivalent focal length on an APSC sensor camera. An adapter may work for the MFT lens to work on a Sony E-mount APSC camera, but it may also vignette as the MFT version is intended for MFT sensors.
