Pairing an ultra wide-angle field of view with an especially compact design, this Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D from Venus Optics is a Canon EF-M-mount lens offering a 14.4mm equivalent focal length. As a Zero-D lens, this 9mm f/2.8's optical design is specifically meant to limit distortion for clear and accurate portrayals of landscapes and architectural subjects. The optical construction also incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced color fringing. A Frog Eye Coating has been applied, too, to repel dust and moisture from the front element of the lens to benefit working in trying environmental conditions. Its sleek and lightweight design is well-matched to mirrorless bodies and is ideal for everyday shooting as well as use on gimbals. Additionally, a petal-shaped lens hood is also incorporated into the lens' design to reduce flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.

Venus Optics Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D Overview
By B&H Photo's
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.

Does this works on my eos 6D?
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?
Do this lens fit on my eos 6D?
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.

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?
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.

Will MFT plus MFT-SonyE adapter gives an 18mm or 13.5mm equivalent lens coverage?
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.
