Laowa has announced the 9mm f/5.6 FF RL, a rectilinear wide-angle lens that offers the widest angle of view yet seen for full-frame cameras. For comparison, most ultra-wide full-frame lenses are zooms, with a few starting at 12mm, some at 14mm and most at 16mm.

The lens has a 135-degree angle of view to offer what Laowa describes as “one of a kind” perspective. This is made possible by the very short flange distances of mirrorless cameras – it won’t fit DSLRs – and the lens will be availalbe in Leica M, Sony FE, Nikon Z and L-mount versions.
