The Laowa Venus 8-15mm f/2.8 FF is a zoom fisheye lens for full-frame cameras with a Leica L-Mount. It fits Leica, Panasonic and Sigma L-Mount cameras. At 8mm it gives a circular fisheye image with a 180-degree angle of view. At 15mm the image fills the frame as a rectangular fisheye.
The maximum aperture stays at f/2.8 across the whole zoom range. Focusing is manual only. The minimum focusing distance is 16cm (6.3"), which allows close-up shots with exaggerated distortion.
