Laowa 9 mm T5.8 VV Cine PL is the widest rectilinear prime that still covers Vista Vision sensors. Its 134.8° diagonal field of view projected on a 46.31 mm image circle captures cockpit interiors or broad landscapes while keeping lines straight; residual barrel stays around 2 % . At 430 g and 41.3 mm, the compact all-metal barrel rides easily on gimbals, car rigs and FPV drones . Close focus reaches 12 cm (0.21 ×) for perspective-rich foregrounds .
The optical formula packs 14 elements in 10 groups with aspheric and extra-low-dispersion glass that tightens corner sharpness and tames lateral chroma. A 14-blade iris maintains circular highlights from T5.8–T22; multilayer nano-coatings guard contrast against back-light. Image quality holds from centre to extreme edge on 8 K sensors, supporting oversampled 12-bit RAW workflows and stitched VR plates without distortion remapping.
Build spec matches cinema convention: dual 0.8 mod gear rings, 90° focus throw, 43.6° iris arc, engraved dual-scale marks and a robust stainless PL mount . The 80 mm front mates directly with clamp-on matte boxes, and negligible focus breathing (≈ 1 %) holds composition during dolly moves. The barrel’s unified diameter with Laowa’s 10 mm, 12 mm and 14 mm siblings accelerates lens swaps when time is critical.
For studios needing an ultra-wide that behaves, Laowa 9 mm T5.8 VV Cine PL offers huge coverage, low distortion, tight mechanics and drone-friendly mass—ideal for LED-volume virtual sets, interiors, vehicle POVs, immersive backplates and stabilised location work.
