Venus Optics Laowa 9mm T/2.9 Zero-D Reviews

Amazing focal length and depth of field

By Tony
Rated 5 out of 5

I've been needing an ultra wide lens for awhile now to shoot more of interior shots, and this one does it! I was worried about the focal length and distortion at first, since people online often recommend around 16mm and saying 9mm will be too wide. But the near zero distortion and at T2.9, you'll capture a lot more and get good depth of field with shots that are cinematic. It also has really good minimal focusing distance (at 4.7″) and almost no focus breathing. I find it great for photography too. It is for s35, but it is wide enough on a full frame. Plus, it is compact and more cost effective than their full frame wide lenses. Pros: 1. Amazing focus breathing 2. Minimal focusing distance (at 4.7″) 3. Near zero distortion 4. Fast aperture at T2.9 5. Compact and solid build Cons: 1. Made for S35

Just Right

This lens is unique considering the extreme wide focal length. There's noticeable vignetting that's a bit too dark depending on the environment you're shooting in and the look you desire. I'm a fan of this fisheye style with nearly zero distortion. It feels very commercial at the moment and fun to experiment with.
