Ultra-wide Cine Lens for Nikon Z
The Venus Optics Laowa 9mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine Lens is built for filmmakers using Nikon Z-mount cameras who need an expansive 113° angle of view on full-frame sensors. Its 15 elements in 10 groups include two aspherical and three extra-low dispersion elements to keep distortion minimal across the frame. The lens weighs 247g (8.7 oz) for comfortable handheld or gimbal work.
Manual Focus and Aperture Control
This lens uses purely mechanical operation with standard 0.8 mod gears on both the focus and aperture rings for integration with follow-focus systems and motorised rigs. There is no electronic communication with the camera body, so aperture and focus must be set by hand. Exposure metadata will not be recorded automatically, and autofocus is not available.
T2.9 Aperture and 55mm Filter Thread
The constant T2.9 aperture provides consistent exposure across the zoom range and usable low-light performance for indoor or dusk scenes. A 55mm front filter thread accepts screw-in filters directly without adapters, though the ultra-wide 113° coverage on full frame (100° on Micro Four Thirds) means care is needed to avoid vignetting with thick filter stacks. The optical design prioritises corner-to-corner sharpness at this focal length.

Questions about this item
How do I choose between the full-frame 113° angle of view and the Micro Four Thirds 100° angle of view?
The lens provides a 113° angle of view on full-frame Nikon Z cameras and 100° on Micro Four Thirds bodies, so select the figure that matches your sensor format.
What does the T2.9 aperture mean for exposure on set?
T2.9 is a calibrated transmission value, so it delivers consistent exposure across takes and matches other T2.9 cinema lenses without the light-loss variance of f-stops.
What does the 0.8 mod gear pitch cap in practice?
The 0.8 mod gears on the focus and aperture rings are the cinema-industry standard, letting you attach any compatible follow-focus or motorised iris unit without adapters.
