Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Circular Fisheye Lens for Nikon Z

Unique 210° Circular Perspective

This Venus Optics Laowa 4mm f/2.8 lens produces a circular fisheye image on Nikon Z cameras. Its 210° angle of view captures a distinctive hemispherical perspective suited to creative and experimental photography. The optical design uses 7 elements in 6 groups to deliver sharp detail across the frame. Weighing 135g, it is a compact tool for specialised imaging.

For Creative Specialists, Not General Use

Photographers seeking an ultra-wide circular fisheye effect for artistic projects or 360° panoramas built from two to three shots will benefit from this optic. It also adapts to DJI Inspire X5 cameras for aerial perspectives. Buyers who need a rectilinear wide-angle lens for architecture or standard landscape work should look elsewhere, as this design renders straight lines as curves.

Simple Manual-Focus Mounting

The lens attaches directly to the Nikon Z mount and operates entirely by manual focus. A minimum focus distance of 3.15in (8cm) allows close-up compositions with deep depth of field. Because there are no electronic contacts, the camera will not record aperture metadata and exposure must be managed manually. The tiny 1.78in barrel offers little grip, so careful handling during attachment is advised.
