Laowa Announces 4.5–10mm F2.8 Zoom Fisheye Lens
A zoom fisheye at constant F2.8 is genuinely unusual. Every fisheye I've seen on a working photographer's kit is a prime, which means you pick your distortion level and commit. Laowa's 4.5–10mm gives you a 2.2x zoom range while staying at F2.8 throughout, which matters if you're shooting real estate walk-throughs, immersive event coverage, or creative editorial where you want fisheye character without being locked to one angle of view. The 10cm minimum focus distance is the practical detail worth noting: get that close at 4.5mm and you're putting subjects in a world that no rectilinear lens touches. No mount confirmation yet, no pricing, no shipping date from what's been published, so file this under 'watch this space' rather than 'buy before your next job.'
