Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D VV Cine Lens - Nikon Z

The lightest 12mm rectilinear lens for Vista Vision sensors, the Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D VV Cine Lens (Nikon Z), combines a 122°field of view with minimal Distortion. The Ø46.31mm image circle provides full coverage for both Full frame and Vista Vision formats and weighs just 458g. These compact optics enable dynamic, immersive cinematography with exceptional edge-to-edge clarity.

This 12mm T2.9 features Laowa's signature Zero-D technology, which maintains straight lines from centre to edge despite the wide 122°-perspective. This quality makes it particularly valuable for architectural cinematography and visual effects where spatial accuracy is crucial.

Weighing just 458g in PL mount configuration, this lens can be easily integrated with gimbals, drones and handheld rigs. The consistent T2.9 aperture delivers strong low-light performance, while industry-standard 0.8 mm pitch gears offer seamless compatibility with professional focusing systems.

The lens focuses up to 14 cm, allowing filmmakers to create compositions that emphasise foreground detail against expansive backgrounds. This ability to focus up close creates dramatic depth effects that enhance the visual narrative.

The 12mm T2.9 Lite excels in environments that require both wide perspective and minimal Distortion, from confined interiors and architectural spaces to landscape scenes and immersive narratives. Its practical features and portable design are suitable for productions ranging from independent projects to large studio works.
