- Does the Laowa 4mm fisheye autofocus?
- No. It is manual focus only, and the aperture is set on the lens ring. There are no electronic contacts, so the camera cannot control it.
- What mount does it use?
- This version is Canon EF-M mount, for EOS M mirrorless bodies. It will not fit DSLRs or other mirrorless mounts without an adapter.

- It covers 210 degrees, a full circular fisheye image. Expect black corners around the circle in every frame.
