I love the quirky, distorted perspective coming from fisheye lenses – the problem is that there’s a limited number of shots that the unusual perspective works well with. But Laowa has unveiled a new fisheye zoom with a few unusual tricks – and an endearing nickname. The Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 CF Zoom Fisheye is a parafocal lens that has both the circular and rectangular fisheye look in one lens that’s so small photographers are calling it a “muffin lens.”
The lens leaked last week, but Laowa has now officially unveiled the new lens, complete with a price and a spec sheet. The lens comes in multiple mounts, including Canon RF, Canon EF-M, Fujifilm X, Micro Four Thirds, Nikon Z, Sony E, and L-Mount. The lens is designed for APS-C and Micro Four Thirds rather than full frame.
