Laowa Venus Optics 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D Lens for Sony E | Black **OPEN BOX**

Combining an ultra wide-angle perspective with a notably compact form, the Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D from Venus Optics is designed for Sony E-mount cameras, providing a focal length equivalent to 13.5mm. As a Zero-D lens, its optical configuration is specifically engineered to minimize distortion, ensuring clear and precise representations of landscapes and architectural subjects. The lens features a construction that includes two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements, effectively managing both spherical and chromatic aberrations to enhance sharpness and diminish color fringing. Additionally, a Frog Eye Coating has been applied to the front element, offering protection against dust and moisture, which is advantageous in challenging environmental conditions. Its streamlined and lightweight design complements mirrorless camera systems, making it suitable for everyday photography as well as for use with gimbals. Furthermore, the lens is equipped with a petal-shaped hood to mitigate flare and ghosting when shooting in bright lighting scenarios.
