The Laowa 9 mm f/2.8 lens offers up to 113° angle of view on an APS-C hybrid body, but is equally at home in front of a 4/3 sensor. Constructed entirely from aluminum, its very moderate weight and compact size go hand in hand with the format of a hybrid body for both photo and video use (easy balancing on a multi-axis stabilization system). Its construction incorporates 2 aspherical lenses and 3 ED glass lenses to limit the appearance of chromatic aberrations and retain maximum detail. The front lens has a hydrophobic coating to protect against water splashes during shooting. A screw thread allows 49 mm filters to be fitted to protect the lens.
