World's Widest Rectilinear Full-Frame Lens

The Venus Optics Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL is a manual-focus prime lens built for Nikon Z mount full-frame cameras. It delivers a 135-degree angle of view, making it the widest rectilinear lens available for the format. Optical construction includes two aspherical and two extra-low dispersion elements to control distortion and chromatic aberration. The lens measures 2.4 inches long and weighs 12.3 ounces.

Ideal for Architecture and Creative Wide Macro

This lens suits landscape, architectural, and interior photographers who need extreme coverage with straight lines. The close focus distance of 4.72 inches allows unique wide-angle macro perspectives with deep context. It is not suited for buyers who need autofocus, electronic aperture control, or a faster maximum aperture for low-light handheld work. The fixed f/5.6 aperture also limits shallow depth-of-field effects.

Compact Manual Prime for Mirrorless Builds

The short 2.4-inch barrel keeps the camera profile small on Nikon Z bodies, leaving room in tight bags or gimbal setups. Manual focus and aperture rings give direct tactile control without relying on camera menus. The 956 filter thread accepts standard screw-in filters for landscape work. The optical design covers the full-frame sensor without vignetting correction dependencies.

Questions about this item

Will this lens cover the full-frame sensor on my Nikon Z camera?

Yes, it is designed for full-frame Nikon Z cameras and delivers a 135-degree angle of view on that format.

Can I still use my existing Z-mount filters with the Laowa 9mm?

The lens does not have a front filter thread, so standard screw-in filters cannot be attached directly.

How close can I focus to a subject and still achieve sharp results?

The minimum focusing distance is 4.72 inches from the sensor plane, allowing ultra-wide close-up shots with high detail.
