Frequently asked questions
What mount does the Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D use?
It uses the Leica M mount, so it fits Leica M cameras directly and can be used on other systems through a mount adapter.
What is the focal length of the Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D?
It is a fixed 14mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/4.0. That makes it a ultra-wide lens.
Is the Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D a prime or a zoom lens?
It is a prime lens with a fixed 14mm focal length. Primes usually open wider than zooms; this one opens to f/4.0.
What is the Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D equivalent on a crop sensor?
On APS-C (1.5x crop) it frames like 21mm on full frame, with a 81.2° horizontal and 91.7° diagonal field of view. On Micro Four Thirds (2x crop) it frames like 28mm on full frame, with a 65.5° horizontal and 75.4° diagonal field of view. These figures are calculated from the focal length and crop factor.
Which cameras does the Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D fit?
Any Leica M-mount camera, including Leica M (Typ 240), Leica M-D (Typ 262), Leica M10-D, Leica M10-P, and Leica M10-R and 15 more.
