9mm f/2.8 Zero-D overview

The Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D is a 9mm f/2.8 prime for APS-C cameras on Sony E-mount, Fujifilm X, Canon EF-M, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon Z, Canon RF and L-Mount, announced by Laowa in March 2018. 95 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors as well as travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust, fast-moving subjects, and close-ups.

New, it sells for A$759 to A$769 at the 3 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$669 to A$759 new.

Worth comparing it with the Fujifilm XF 8mm F3.5 R WR, Canon RF-S 7.8mm F4 STM Dual and Sony E 11mm F1.8.

An APS-C lens also mounts on full-frame bodies of the same mount, where it crops the frame; those aren't listed.
