## Summary description

Venus Optics Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL is an ultra-wide-angle SLR lens with a 14-element/10-group optical design and full-frame coverage. It features a bayonet mount, 62 mm filter thread, 6.35 cm diameter and 58 mm length. Suited for architectural, interior and landscape photography where extreme wide field of view and optical correction are required.

## Long description

Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL by Venus Optics is an ultra-wide rectilinear lens designed for full-frame SLR and mirrorless cameras. With a 126° angle of view and a compact form factor, the lens delivers an extreme wide perspective while maintaining a corrected rectangular projection. The optical construction uses 14 elements in 10 groups, including aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements to minimise chromatic aberration and preserve sharpness across the frame. The lens accepts 62 mm screw-in filters and can also be used with a dedicated 100 mm square filter holder to avoid vignetting at ultra-wide angles. Physical dimensions and weight are optimised for mobility: the lens is approximately 6.3 cm long and weighs around 254 g, making it suitable for travel and field work.
Advantages
The Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL provides an exceptionally wide 126° field of view with rectilinear rendering, reducing the curved distortion typical of fisheye designs. Its 14-element/10-group optical formula, including two aspherical and three extra-low dispersion elements, keeps detail and colour fidelity high while suppressing chromatic aberrations. A built-in 62 mm filter thread offers simple screw-in filter use, while an optional 100 mm filter holder is available for more demanding filter workflows. The lens is compact and lightweight, and its 19 cm minimum focus distance enables close-up compositions with an exaggerated wide-angle perspective. A five-blade aperture produces distinct 10-point sunstars for controlled highlights.
Suitable for
Architectural photography where straight lines and minimal distortion are required
Interior and real-estate photography in confined spaces
Landscape and seascape photography with expansive scenes
Travel and street photography when portability and wide coverage are priorities
Creative close-focus wide-angle shots and environmental portraits

How to use
Attach the lens to a compatible camera body using the correct bayonet mount. For landscape, architecture or interiors, compose with the exaggerated wide perspective in mind and keep the camera level to preserve straight lines. Use the 62 mm screw-in thread to attach neutral density or polarising filters where required; when using graduated or multiple filters, consider the 100 mm filter holder to avoid vignetting. To emphasise foreground subjects, focus as close as 19 cm from the sensor plane while maintaining careful composition to avoid unintended distortion. Stop down the aperture towards f/8–f/16 when maximum depth of field and edge-to-edge sharpness are desired.
Usage recommendations
Use a sturdy tripod for critical architectural or landscape work to ensure precise framing and maximum sharpness. When shooting interiors, keep the camera level and correct perspective during capture or apply perspective correction in post-processing. For starbursts, stop the aperture to f/11–f/16 to accentuate the 10-point sunstars while minding diffraction limits. If you work with rangefinder systems that support coupling, enable the rangefinder coupling feature for more accurate focusing on compatible Leica M models.
