The Laowa 9mm f/2.8 FE Zero-D Lens from Venus Optics is a lightweight and compact wide-angle prime lens featuring a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture. This lens is specifically designed with a DL mount to be compatible with the X7 gimbal on the DJI Inspire 2 drone, making it suitable for APS-C / Super 35 sensors. Its advanced optical design minimizes distortion effectively. The lens excels in low-light conditions and, with a minimum focusing distance of 4.7 inches, it can create images with a shallow depth of field. The optical assembly incorporates three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements, which work together to mitigate chromatic and spherical aberrations, enhancing sharpness, clarity, and minimizing color fringing. Additionally, it has a 49mm front filter thread, offers a wide 113° angle of view, and weighs a mere 7.6 ounces. A petal-shaped lens hood is included to help reduce flare and ghosting. Designed for the X7 gimbal on the DJI Inspire 2 drone. Ultra wide-angle DL mount prime designed for APS-C Super 35 sensors, this 9mm f/2.8 provides a 13.5mm equivalent focal length. Relatively fast f/2.8 maximum aperture low-light shooting applications. Renders subjects with minimal distortion to suit landscape and architectural applications. Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and color neutrality. Two aspherical elements are also featured to limit spherical aberrations for improved sharpness. Manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 4.7" away with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:7.5. This lens can accept 49mm screw-in filters on the front of the lens.
