About The Laowa 19mm F/2.8 Zero-D GFX Lens
As a medium format Ultra-wide-angle lens, the 19mm f/2.8 is one of the smallest in its class. Despite the compact size, the lens can capture an incredible AoV of 110° with Zero Distortion. The lens also has an f/2.8 large aperture, helping photographers to shoot in darker environments or create a pleasing out-of-focus background. Or they can stop down the aperture to get the beautiful 10-point Sunstar from its 5-blade aperture. Also, photographers can get extremely close to their subjects due to a minimum focusing distance of 18cm.
Exceptionally Light & Compact
This lens is significantly lighter than most GFX lenses on the market. As a wide-angle lens, it weighs only 546g and is 80mm long. The size is close to a full-frame lens. Perfect for photographers who need to travel around or want to have a lighter setup.
110 Degree Ultra Wide Angle of View
An ultra-wide 110° AoV allows photographers to capture various types of photography including landscape, interior, architecture and astrophotography. Equivalent to 15mm on Full Frame 35mm Format Sensor Due to the 0.79x “crop” factor of the medium format-sized sensor, the lens is equivalent to about 15mm lens on a 35mm format sensor. It is extremely helpful when shooting in tight spaces.
f2/8 Fast Apeture
This 19mm GFX lens has a fast aperture of f/2.8, allowing photographers to capture in low-light environments without bumping the ISO up. And also, the option for better background separations for the subject.
Zero Distortion
This 19mm is also a 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.
18cm Minimum Focusing Distance
The 19mm has impressive close-focusing capabilities of 18cm, it allows photographers to get extremely close to the subject while still being able to include the background information in the scene.
77mm Filter Thread
Despite the ultra-wide angle of view, the lens is still able to have an 77mm front filter thread. Photographers can quickly attach screw-on filters for maximum control and creativity under different lighting conditions.
10-Point Sunstar
The 5-blade aperture produces a mesmerizing Sunstar rendering. By stopping down the aperture, a photographer can easily create the perfect 10-point Sunstar
Focusing scale adjustment system
This lens has the same focusing scale adjustment system as the full-frame 14mm does. This feature allows easy focus calibration against users’ own cameras. The actual infinity point would be right on the infinity mark, making it helpful in shooting in the field, especially in astrophotography.
