Providing a compact form factor with an ultra-wide field of view, the Canon EF-mount Laowa 14mm f/4 Zero-D Lens from Venus Optics is a stylish prime lens with distinctly low distortion to suit interior, architecture, astrophotography, nature, and landscape applications. The broad 114 angle of view is aided by an advanced optical design, which includes aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements, to realize well-corrected, sharp, and color-accurate imagery. The lens has a manual focus design and permits working with subjects as close as 5.7″ away and its petal-shaped hood helps to block stray light from causing unwanted lens flare. Additionally, the lens’s focusing scale is adjustable for users to fine tune its working distance according to the deviation of the flange range of their own cameras.

Low-Dispersion and Aspherical Elements

This design greatly improves the clarity, including the image quality from corner to corner.

Zero-D Optics

Good for the money

By Grant Rated 4 out of 5 Date: 2021-12-06

This is a nice lens for the price. I looked at a couple of hands on reviews and the largest complaint was that is was somewhat difficult to focus. And that is true, but feel that with a bit more experience, it won’t be a problem. The build quality is very good. Love the 14mm FOV. And the zero-d feature is real, in fact it works really well. For EF mount, this is a fantastic option short of buying Canon 11-24 which is out of my network.
