Group Description
This group is for the newly announced Laowa 12mm f/2.8 lens that has virtually zero distortion. Well, technically 0.2%. Feel free to use a ruler!Rules:
Photos of the lens and taken with the lens is allowed. Anything not related will be removed.
This group is also not ran by officials from Laowa, thus anyone can take a photo and put it into this group. These individuals do not represent Laowa by virtue of adding their photo to the group, and this group is for showcasing purposes, not marketing! Please report to me any photos that are not related. I will remove them.
Note: I have changed the settings so that every photo has to be reviewed to avoid unwanted confusion and drama when other individuals (that I cannot control) add unrelated photos to the group pool. The settings will be changed when the lens is released and available to the public.
25/07/2016 Update:
The lens will soon be available on Kickstarter! Stay tuned!
Laowa will provide a square filter holder specifically designed for this lens, available to purchase as an add-on.
A field-of-view extender will also be available for only the Sony E mount, it turns the lens into a 17mm f/4 tilt lens (no swing).
Note: I am not sponsored by them.

This lens is fully manual and due to the front element, it does not allow screw-in filters. However, we specifically designed the lens hood to allow 100x100mm rectangular filter systems, a conventional lens hood is also available.
Group Rules
Please post only photos of the Laowa 12mm or taken with the Laowa 12mm.This group will be heavily moderated as for now by me (Daniel Han) only, all photos will be reviewed. This is to avoid people spamming the group with unrelated photos as an attempt to gain more exposure, thus bring confusion and unwanted drama.
