Laowa 17mm f/4 GFX Zero-D - Fuji G

Venus Optics Laowa 17mm f/4 GFX Zero-D - wider glass for the G man

Exceptionally wide, the Venus Optics Laowa 17mm f/4 GFX Zero-D is a brutally wide ultra-wide prime designed for Fujifilm G bayonet medium format cameras. With a wider 113° angle of view, this lens is suitable for a wide range of subjects, including architecture, interiors, landscapes, and astrography. The optical formula incorporates a series of extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements that correct for a wide range of distortions, resulting in sharp, bright and colour-true images. As part of the Zero-D series, you can expect the lens to provide significant distortion correction, with accurate subject representation. Frog Eye coating on the front element protects the lens from dust and moisture. In addition, the manual focus design allows for the closest focus up to 20 centimetres away. A five-blade dimmer makes for lovely 10-blade sunbursts.
