Presenting an immensely wide field of view within a truly compact package, the Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Fisheye provides a huge 210° angle of view for Canon EF-M mirrorless cameras. As a circular fisheye, this lens is characterized by its noticeable distortion and bulb-like visual appearance. The greater-than-180° angle of view also enables making full 360° stitched panoramas with just two shots. The lens also sports a bright f/2.8 design for working in available lighting conditions and its manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 3.1" away for true close-up shooting. Additionally, the fisheye design retains almost full depth of field when stopped down to f/5.6 for consistent and even sharpness.

Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Fisheye Reviews
A fun lens
It is so wide angle that at the bottom of the photo you can see the bottom of my shorts and on the right my finger that was on the camera grip. Lesson there is don't hold the grip but pinch the shutter button from behind. Also discovered you need decent grip strength to mount and dismount the lens on the Z50. Not a whole lot to grab hold of on the lens and I don't think you'd want to use the focusing tab as leverage.

Love a wide angle lens and for the price this is a great little fisheye lens
Crazy fun lens!
Sharp, crisp circular images with this unique 4mm, f2.8 fisheye lens from Laowa. Fully manual lens with a robust focus ring. Easy to use but take care not you get your shoes or fingers in the 210 field of view! I love this lens!
Lots of fun and unique perspective...
This lens is tiny but produces big images. Good sharpness and contrast that can really be brought out during post processing.
Great toy
I purchased this as a toy to just play with and am very happy I got it.
Great lens to try some new and different shots!
This lens has a solid and quality feel. The lens cap provides good protection and doesn't fall off in my camera bag. I have to remember to check that my feet, tripod legs or face doesn't show at the edges of the images. The images have been very sharp; I made a mask in photoshop to hide the edges.
A great novelty lens
Lots of fun. Rather long learning curve. Using on an a6000, battery compartment isn't so visible. Must be mindful of things under over or near camera. Consider finger amputation for clear edges.
Great Fisheye for the Price for Fuji
Aperture Ring and Distance Ring from close to infinity work smoothly....Hard to mount and dismount to camera use the lens Cover to help rotate the lens. Takes Great Pictures and Easy to use, had to crop out my feet in some pictures, and used a rail and cable release so my hands were not in the picture. Worked great at the Botanical Center.
