The Laowa 7.5mm f/2 MFT is an ultra-wide, rectilinear lens designed for photographers and videographers using Micro Four Thirds systems who need a compact, fast aperture optic for architecture, landscapes, and astrophotography. It provides an impressive 110-degree field of view with excellent sharpness in a feather-weight build, though users should be aware that it is a fully manual lens with no electronic communication between the camera and the lens.

No, the Laowa 7.5mm f/2 is a fully manual focus lens.
Yes, it features a 46mm front filter thread for standard screw-in filters.
The lens is constructed from metal for durability, but it does not carry an official weather-sealing rating.
No, because there are no electronic contacts between the lens and camera, your camera will not record the aperture or lens data in the file metadata.
Yes, it is a popular choice for drones and gimbals due to its lightweight construction.
The field of view is equivalent to approximately 15mm on a 35mm full-frame sensor.
Go into your camera settings and enable the option to 'Shoot w/o Lens' or 'Release shutter without lens'.
Use the camera's built-in Focus Peaking or Magnification features to confirm focus precision, especially when shooting at f/2.
Ensure the ring is clean of debris. If the lens is new, a short break-in period of rotating the ring back and forth usually resolves this.
Setup: The lens features a standard Micro Four Thirds mount. Simply align the white dot on the lens with the index mark on your camera body and rotate clockwise until it clicks. Since this lens lacks electronic contacts, ensure your camera's menu setting 'Shoot w/o Lens' is enabled to allow the shutter to fire.
Compatibility: This lens is native to the Micro Four Thirds mount and works with Panasonic, Olympus, and Blackmagic MFT cameras. Lightweight versions are specifically popular for drone operators, though note that there is no electronic gimbal control over focus or aperture settings.
Care: Always replace the front and rear lens caps when not in use. Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust from the glass. If a smudge occurs, use a small drop of specialized lens cleaning solution on a cloth, never directly on the glass. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fungus buildup.
