LAOWA 17MM F/4.0 GFX LENS ZERO-D FUJI GFX

World’s Widest Lens for Fujifilm GFX

The LAOWA 17mm f/4 lens is currently the widest lens available for Fujifilm G mount mirrorless cameras. The Ultra-wide angle FoV, with Close-to-Zero distortion (Zero-D), makes it perfect for landscape, architecture, interior and astrophotography. The 113° angle of view enables photographers to include more into the frame. The 86mm filter thread allows quick attachment of filters for maximum creativity under different light conditions. The lens also features a 5-blade aperture system for creating pleasing sun-star renderings (10-point stars).

113 ° Ultra Wide Angle

The Laowa 17mm f/4 GFX Zero-D features a 113° angle of view, the lens is ideal for various types of photography including landscape, interior, architecture and astrophotography.

Due to the 0.79x “crop” factor of the medium format-sized sensor of GFX cameras, the angle of view is equivalent to a 13mm lens on a 35mm format sensor. It is extremely helpful when shooting interiors or in tight spaces. More information and details can now be included in the frame, compared to any other wide angle lens on the market.

Close-to-Zero Distortion

Comprised of 21 elements in 14 groups, the new 17mm f/4 lens is the 4th member of the Laowa “Zero-D” product line-up, which exhibits close-to-zero optical distortion. This particular feature is extremely useful for architecture and interior photographers as all the straight lines can now be retained.

86mm Filter Thread

Despite the ultra-wide angle of view, LAOWA has managed to incorporate an 86mm front filter thread. Photographers can quickly attach screw-on filters for maximum control and creativity under different lighting conditions.

Perfect Sun-Star

The 5-blade aperture system produces a pleasing sunstar rendering. By stopping down the aperture, a photographer can easily create perfect 10-point sunstars.

Get Closer – And Wider

Similar to other Laowa wide angle lenses, the new 17mm f/4 has impressive close-focusing capabilities. It can focus 20cm from the sensor. This allows photographers to get extremely close to the subject while still being able to include the background information in the scene.

Resolution

The Laowa 17mm f/4 can achieve amazing high resolution results at both the centre and edge of the frame. Details at the edges are well preserved even on the 102MP sensor of GFX 100 cameras.
