Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 CF Zoom Fisheye Canon RF

The constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 supports shooting in low light and enables fast shutter speeds for action sports, astrophotography, interiors, and experimental creative work.

Despite the ultra-wide angle, the lens remains light and portable, making it ideal for handheld shooting, travel kits, drone content, and vlogging. A minimum focusing distance of just 10 cm allows for exaggerated foreground emphasis and immersive close-up compositions with strong spatial separation. The parfocal zoom design ensures that focus is maintained across the entire zoom range, making the lens particularly well suited to video workflows that require smooth zoom transitions without constant refocusing.

The lens is designed to retain focus across the entire zoom range, delivering smooth and reliable zoom transitions during filming. This parfocal behaviour minimises interruptions during recording and reduces the need for focus corrections when changing focal lengths.

With the ability to focus as close as 10 cm, the lens can create strongly exaggerated spatial relationships between subject and background. Combined with the ultra-wide fisheye perspective and bright aperture, this enables distinctive close-up compositions with an immersive environmental context.

The lightweight 338-gram design makes the lens easy to integrate into compact Nikon APS-C camera kits. The portability is a real advantage for vloggers, travel photographers, and creators who want to capture dramatic fisheye imagery without having to carry larger, specialised lenses.
