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.

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.
