12mm f/2.8 Zero-D overview

The Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D is a 12mm f/2.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, Nikon F, Sony E-mount, Sony A-mount, Pentax K, Nikon Z, Canon RF and L-Mount, announced by Laowa in July 2016. 151 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors. It is a weaker pick for fast-moving subjects.

New, it sells for S$1,220 in Singapore (TK Foto).

Worth comparing it with the Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D, Samyang 14mm F2.8 ED AS IF UMC and Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro.
