Presenting an immensely wide field of view within a truly compact package, the Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Fisheye Lens for Canon RFprovides a huge 210° angle of view for Canon RF mirrorless cameras. As a circular fisheye, this lens is characterized by its noticeable distortion and bulb-like visual appearance. The greater-than-180° angle of view also enables making full 360° stitched panoramas with just two shots. The lens also sports a bright f/2.8 design for working in available lighting conditions and its manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 3.1" away for true close-up shooting. Additionally, the fisheye design retains almost full depth of field when stopped down to f/5.6 for consistent and even sharpness.

[f/2.8] This is a fun little lens to get some awesome, unique photos! Of course it is limited in the types of subjects and situations and I've learned how to get best results from it. One has to be aware that with a 210 degree angle of view, you have to figure out a way to minimize getting your feet, fingers, and body into the picture. I usually hold it out straight from my body, sometimes with a small tripod and wireless trigger. Also, there is some chromatic aberration around the outside of the image, but not terrible and that is easily corrected by doing a circular crop in post processing. Really good build quality for a lens at this price point. It does take a little bit of learning to put the lens on the camera body as there isn't a whole lot of lens material to hold onto, but this isn't a big issue. Manual focusing ... I just set the distance to near infinity and around F8 or 11. This lens really opens up your creative spirit .... In my examples I did a circular crop in photoshop to remove the chromatic aberration and my fingers. In the photo with the super heroes I am at around 4pm on the circle ... can see my fingers a bit ..... In the picture of the graffiti you will see our legs in the shot .... was holding the camera out at arms length .... kind of a fun shot though. Get this lens - have some creative fun! 5

[Canon RF] I use this lens on DJI X5s and it work great. Perfect to archive some specials effect. Very sharp. 5

[0.79 lb] I have always liked wide lenses and this little Gem is indeed a great addition to my line up. You get in more than you can imagine. But the end results will amaze you. 5

[7] This lens has a solid and quality feel. The lens cap provides good protection and doesn't fall off in my camera bag. I have to remember to check that my feet, tripod legs or face doesn't show at the edges of the images. The images have been very sharp; I made a mask in photoshop to hide the edges. 5

[APS-C] A spectacular lens, but tricky to use without getting parts of yourself in the picture! 5

Sanjay	21/05/2024
[Canon RF] Great fun, huge field of view and no more distortion that a fisheye inevitably has. Worth even the full price. Just remember to keep your own thumbs and shoes out of the picture! (Others have complained that grips and batteries intrude - that’s a feature of a 210 degree coverage, not a bug - you can’t blame the lens for the not overriding the laws of optics!) 5

[Canon RF] Except for shooting stars, it is a little hard to focus precisely on my e-m10 iii. Other than that, this is super wide and gives you interesting photos. 5

[f/16] Had one of these for my Canon M mount system. Just had to have for my new RF systems also. Need to practice how to trigger camera so you are NOT part of the shot. 5
