The Story
The Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 CF Zoom Fisheye is a compact APS-C fisheye zoom lens designed for creators who want unique ultra-wide perspectives in both photography and video. Featuring a 4.5-10mm zoom range, constant f/2.8 aperture, and parfocal zoom capability, this lens delivers creative flexibility for landscapes, action sports, astrophotography, travel content, and cinematic video production.
From a circular fisheye effect at 4.5mm to a diagonal fisheye perspective at 10mm, the lens offers multiple visual styles in one compact body while maintaining portability for handheld, gimbal, and drone setups.
Dual Fisheye Effect
Capture two fisheye styles with a single lens. At 4.5mm, the lens creates a dramatic 180-degree circular fisheye image, while 10mm produces a full-frame diagonal fisheye look. This flexible design reduces the need for lens changes during shoots and opens creative possibilities, including de-fishing images, crystal ball effects, 360° panorama effects, exaggerated perspectives, and natural framing compositions.
Constant f/2.8 Aperture
The constant f/2.8 aperture maintains consistent exposure throughout the zoom range. This allows smoother video recording while providing improved low-light performance for night scenes, indoor shooting, and astrophotography. It also gives creators more flexibility with shutter speed and ISO settings.
10cm Minimum Focusing Distance
Get extremely close to subjects while still capturing the surrounding environment. The 10cm minimum focusing distance helps create strong foreground emphasis and exaggerated spatial depth, making it suitable for close-up creative shots, dynamic compositions, and immersive storytelling.
Parfocal Ability
Designed with parfocal zoom capability, the lens maintains focus while zooming in or out. This feature is especially useful for video creators who need smooth zoom transitions without refocusing, improving workflow efficiency during filming.
Compact and Lightweight Design
Built for portability, the compact and lightweight construction makes the lens easy to carry for travel, outdoor shooting, and daily creative use. Its balanced design also supports handheld shooting and compatibility with gimbals and drone setups for more flexible production options.
