Ultra-wide cine lens for full-frame and Vista Vision

The Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine Lens covers full-frame and Vista Vision sensors on cameras such as RED Monstro and Arri Alexa LF. It also provides a 17mm equivalent field of view on Super35 format. The lens is built for professional cinematography workflows.

Compact manual-focus design for gimbal use

At 3.4 inches long and 1.5 lb, the lens fits lightweight stabilisation systems including handheld gimbals. A standard Canon EF mount attaches directly to compatible cinema and mirrorless bodies. Manual focus and aperture rings require operator control with no electronic communication.

Near-zero distortion at 12mm focal length

Optical distortion is corrected to close-to-zero levels across the ultra-wide 12mm view. This specification determines whether the lens suits architectural, interior or visual-effects work where straight lines must remain straight.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine Lens covers my full-frame sensor without distortion after mounting?

Check that straight architectural lines stay straight across the frame and verify the 12mm focal length delivers the advertised 17mm equivalent field of view on Super35 cameras.

What accessories come in the box with the Canon EF mount version and what must I purchase separately?

The lens includes front and rear caps; any screw-in filters or cinema matte boxes must be bought separately.

Should I choose this 12mm T2.9 model for Vista Vision sensors or a narrower lens for Super35 only?

This 12mm T2.9 covers both full-frame and Vista Vision sensors completely while giving Super35 cameras an ultra-wide 17mm equivalent view.
