Under the banner of innovative lens technology, the Laowa 12mm T2.9 Zero-D Cine Lens for Canon RF stands as the widest T2.9 lens currently available, capable of covering sensors up to full frame and Vistavision size. This high-quality, versatile lens is an ideal wide-angle option for professional cinema cameras and mirrorless cameras alike, catering to both Large format and Super35 cameras.The lens's image circle is designed to not only accommodate full frame sensors but also fill the Vistavision sensors on RED Monstro and the sensor on Arri Alexa LF fully. This makes it a future-proof choice for Super35-sized camera owners, offering an ultra-wide 17mm equivalent field of view.Despite its extreme specifications, this 12mm lens is incredibly compact and lightweight, measuring just 3.4" long and weighing less than 1.5 lb.

An extended 270 Degree smooth focus throw ensures accurate focus pulling. The entire enclosure of the lens is made of durable aluminum alloy. A 114mm step-ring is included to expand the front diameter to fit with industry-sized matte boxes, ensuring no vignetting on VV sensor with the matte box installed.The lens comes in three different variants: PL, EF, and E mount, with shims of different thickness included for users to perform flange calibration.
