Ultra-wide APS-C zoom lens
The Venus Optics Laowa 8-16mm f/3.5-5 CF is an ultra-wide zoom lens built for APS-C mirrorless cameras. It covers a focal range of 8mm to 16mm with a maximum aperture of f/3.5 at the wide end. The lens mounts directly to Fujifilm X bodies without an adapter. It is designed for photographers and videographers who need an expansive field of view in a portable package.
120.9-degree maximum angle of view
The widest setting delivers a 120.9-degree angle of view, while the long end narrows to 82.8 degrees. This range determines whether a scene fits in the frame from a close position. Buyers who need a narrower field of view or longer reach should consider a different focal range.
86mm filter thread and 463g weight
An 86mm front thread accepts screw-in ND filters, polarisers and creative filters for landscape and video work. At 463g (1.02 lb) the lens stays light enough for extended handheld use and travel bags. The constant physical size while zooming helps with gimbal balance, though the variable aperture reduces light transmission at 16mm.
