## Long description

The Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 is a compact wide fisheye lens designed for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras with Canon mount. With an optical construction of 7 elements in 6 groups and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it delivers an extreme field of view that produces dramatic circular fisheye perspectives on M43 and APS-C formats. The lens is small and lightweight (approximately 135 g) and has a physical length of about 25.5 mm, making it convenient for travel, handheld shooting and mounting on lightweight aerial platforms where a highly pronounced wide-angle effect is needed.
Advantages
The lens provides a one-of-a-kind 210° field of view that enables circular fisheye images and exceptional scene coverage. Its compact size and low weight make it easy to carry and quick to deploy in the field. Optical design with 7 elements in 6 groups balances image coverage and control of aberrations for a usable wide-angle rendering. The fast f/2.8 aperture improves low-light capability and allows for greater control of exposure when shooting interiors or night scenes.
Suitable for
Creative wide-angle and circular fisheye photography
Architecture and interior environmental shots where extreme coverage is required
Action and sports scenes needing maximal scene inclusion
Pano and 360° capture workflows (stitching 2–3 shots for full panorama)
Travel, street and documentary use when a compact, lightweight fisheye is preferred

How to use
Mount the Laowa 4mm f/2.8 on a compatible Canon-mount mirrorless camera and compose with the circular fisheye effect in mind: keep the subject near the center to minimize extreme edge compression or place subjects creatively to use the curvature. For panoramic capture, take 2–3 overlapping frames while rotating the camera around the optical center and stitch the images in panorama software. When shooting handheld, use a fast shutter speed or enable image stabilization in-body if available to reduce motion blur; for low-light or night scenes, adjust ISO and aperture settings to achieve desired exposure while retaining image detail.
Usage recommendations
Use the lens for experimental wide-angle perspectives, interiors and creative panoramas. Avoid placing important subjects at extreme edges where distortion is strongest; instead, use the center area for people or critical details. For best stitching results in 360° panoramas, rotate the camera around the lens nodal point and ensure consistent exposure between frames.
