From tight interior spaces to vast landscapes, the Venus Optics Laowa 12-24mm f/5.6 Zoom Lens lets you compose your shots with ease. Designed for Leica M-mount mirrorless cameras, this compact and lightweight lens is an excellent choice for landscape, cityscape, and architectural shooting. Well-suited for travel photography, the lens also features a 5.9" minimum focusing distance for dramatic wide-angle macro shots.
