## Long description

The Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 for Micro Four Thirds is an ultra-wide circular fisheye lens offering a 210° field of view on MFT bodies. Its compact optical design (7 elements in 6 groups) and fast f/2.8 maximum aperture deliver a distinctive circular fisheye perspective, extreme depth of field at smaller apertures, and strong edge-to-edge sharpness. Weighing approximately 135 g and measuring about 25.5 mm in length, the lens is highly portable and can be used for panorama stitching, VR imaging, drone mounting on compatible platforms, and creative wide-angle effects.
Advantages
The Laowa 4mm f/2.8 produces a full 210° circular fisheye image on Micro Four Thirds cameras, allowing photographers to capture scenes that exceed human peripheral vision and to create 360° panoramas with as few as two to three frames. Its fast f/2.8 aperture helps in low-light shooting and creative shallow-light effects, while the small size and low weight make it easy to carry and integrate into varied setups including handheld, aerial, and compact cinema rigs. The lens also maintains notable sharpness across the frame, which supports de-fishing, cropping for ultra-wide views, and high-resolution applications.
Suitable for
360° panorama and VR photography
Landscape and interior scenes with extreme field of view
Aerial imaging and drone-mounted creative perspectives
Vlog, selfie-stick-free group shots and creative social content

How to use
Mount the lens on a Micro Four Thirds camera body and set the camera to manual focus. Compose with awareness of the extreme distortion and circular frame; move closer or farther from the subject to control how much of the scene appears within the circular fisheye image. For panoramas, take 2–3 overlapping frames while rotating the camera around the lens nodal point and stitch them in panorama software. When using for aerial work or on compatible drone mounts, ensure the platform supports the lens and verify balance and clearance before flight.
Usage recommendations
For sharp results across the scene, stop down to f/5.6 or smaller to take advantage of the lens’s large depth of field. When de-fishing or cropping for ultra-wide perspectives, prefer images captured at smaller apertures and use high-resolution capture modes where available. In low-light situations, use the f/2.8 aperture combined with stable support or higher ISO settings as needed. Always check for vignetting and framing when switching to cinema crop modes and adjust cropping or composition accordingly.
