Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D FF Autofocus Ultra-Wide Lens for Nikon Z

The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Lite Zero-D FF is a compact full-frame ultra-wide lens for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras, delivering a dramatic 122° angle of view with Laowa's signature near-zero distortion. It is one of the widest rectilinear (non-fisheye) lenses available, ideal for landscape, architecture, real estate, interiors, astrophotography, and vlogging.

This Lite version builds on the legendary original 12mm with a redesigned optical formula optimized for mirrorless systems, improved corner-to-corner sharpness, reduced chromatic aberration, and the added convenience of fast, quiet autofocus.

Key Features

  • Ultra-wide 122° angle of view on full-frame
  • Zero-D design: near-zero distortion with straight lines rendered straight
  • Autofocus support for Nikon Z
  • Bright f/2.8 to f/22 aperture for low light and astrophotography
  • 16 elements in 9 groups, including 2 aspherical and 4 low-dispersion elements
  • 5-blade diaphragm produces striking 10-point sunstars
  • Close focus to 14 cm (5.5") with 0.21x maximum magnification
  • Built-in 72mm front filter thread — no bulky filter holder needed
  • Compact and lightweight: approx. 390 g, ideal for handheld, gimbal, and drone use

Zero Distortion, Straight Out of Camera

Laowa's Zero-D optics keep architectural lines straight and shapes accurate without the need for digital correction, saving time in post-production.

Creative Close-Ups

A 14 cm minimum focus distance lets you get extremely close to foreground subjects for dramatic wide-angle perspectives with a sense of depth.

Filter-Friendly

The integrated 72mm filter thread is rare for a lens this wide, allowing direct use of ND and polarizing filters in the field.
