## Long description

Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 is an ultra-wide fisheye lens for MILC and SLR cameras that delivers an extreme 210° field of view. Compact and lightweight, the lens features an optical design of 7 elements in 6 groups and a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture that supports low-light shooting and creative depth control. With a small diameter of 45.2 mm, a length of 25.5 mm and a weight of 135 g, the Laowa 4mm is suitable for travel, landscape, architectural and specialised creative photography, and it can produce circular fisheye images on compatible formats.
Advantages
The lens offers a unique 210° coverage that enables circular fisheye perspectives and facilitates 360° panoramas with minimal stitching. Its fast f/2.8 aperture improves usability in low-light conditions and provides more control over depth appearance. The compact dimensions and low weight make it easy to carry and to mount on lightweight rigs, including certain aerial camera systems. The optical layout of 7 elements in 6 groups is balanced to deliver consistent imaging performance across the extreme field of view.
Suitable for
Creative fisheye and circular fisheye photography
Travel and compact gear setups
Landscape and cityscape panoramic shooting
Architecture and interior photography for exaggerated wide-angle effects
Aerial and drone-based imaging on compatible platforms

How to use
Mount the Laowa 4mm f/2.8 on a compatible camera mount and set the camera to manual focus or use focus assist features where available. Compose with awareness of the extreme wide-angle distortion; place key subjects toward the center or use the distortion creatively across the frame. For low-light shooting open the aperture to f/2.8 and adjust ISO and shutter speed as required. To create 360° panoramas, overlap consecutive frames by 30–50% and keep the camera orientation consistent; with as few as two to three shots it is possible to assemble a full panorama on suitable camera formats.
Usage recommendations
Because the lens is manual focus and has extreme field curvature, verify critical focus using live view magnification. Use a steady support or tripod for panoramic stitching and long exposures. Keep in mind that circular fisheye coverage depends on camera sensor size and mount; check compatibility with your camera system before use. Backordered items are expected to ship in 2–3 weeks and will be fulfilled in order of purchase.
