WOW - 9mm Full Frame in a super small package
Amazingly compact and light. (This is very high on my list as I am transitioning to Sony for travel. Tamron Trinity + Sony 85 f/1.8 is my kit) Very sharp. Very little distortion (relative to incredibly wide 9mm) Also, it did not seem to be hypersensitive to not being held perfectly level, something that I was afraid might be a real problem. No AF is not really a problem at 9mm. Set for hyperfocal and fire away. If you are moving to macro distances, it will be obvious on the screen/finder that...

The Widest Rectilinear lens for Full Frame cameras.
Designed for full frame cameras, the Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL is currently the world's widest rectilinear lens. The remarkable 135 Degree angle of view allows you to capture landscape images with ease and realise formerly impossible shots. The lens includes 2 aspherical elements and 2 extra-low dispersion elements to suppress chromatic aberrations and distortion to the minimum. Despite the one-of-a-kind perspective, the lens itself is super compact (2.4" / 6cm long) and weigh only 12.3 oz. / 350 g. It also features an extremely close focusing distance of 4.72" / 12cm (from subject to sensor) for photographers to create mini macro shots with ultra-wide perspective.
Extraordinary 135 Degree Angle of view
Featuring a remarkable 135 Degree angle of view, the new Laowa 9mm f/5.6 is currently the widest non-fisheye lens ever developed for full frame mirrorless cameras. The ultra-wide angle of view is particularly helpful for interior as it helps exaggerated the sense of space. The one-of-a-kind perspective also helps realized a lot of formerly impossible shots.
Extremely close focusing distance
In addition to the ultra-wide perspective, the new Laowa 9mm lens can focus extremely close, almost like a macro lens. The closest focusing distance is only 4.72" (12cm) measuring from subject to sensor. This is so much closer than the other ultra-wide angle lenses in the market and it provides a greater flexibility for photographers to compose shots at any distance, create wide angle shots at close distances and control depth of field much more easily.
Perfect 10-point Sunstars
The 5-blade aperture system produces a pleasing sunstar rendering. Simply stop down the aperture by 1 stop and can create the perfect 10-point sunstars.
An exaggerated sense of space
With a remarkable 135 Degree angle of view, the lens creates a sense of space by exaggerating the relative size of foreground objects. This lens is extremely useful for interior photography.
100mm Filter Holder
Despite the ultra-wide angle of view, Venus Optics have managed to work with partners to carefully design a filter holder that 100mm-wide filters can be used without serious vignetting.
Lens body design
The new 9mm f/5.6 is carefully crafted to improve your user experience.
