The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye is a manual zoom lens for full-frame cameras with Canon RF mount. It combines an extreme fisheye effect at 8mm with a versatile wide-angle at 15mm – unique in the lens world.
The flexible zoom range from 8 to 15mm allows both dramatic 180° fisheye shots and more natural wide-angle perspectives – ideal for landscape, architecture, and creative photography.
The maximum aperture of f/2.8 ensures a bright viewfinder image and good results in low light without raising ISO.
The full-frame design uses the entire sensor and delivers sharp images to the edges – perfect for high-resolution cameras.
With a weight of approximately 1 kg, the lens remains easy to handle and transport – whether traveling or in the studio.
