Laowa 4.5-10mm f/2.8 Fisheye Zoom: 180° in a Pocket-Sized Package
A fisheye zoom is a genuinely weird idea that actually makes sense. Laowa's new 4.5-10mm f/2.8 gives APS-C and MFT shooters a 180-degree view at the wide end, then pulls back to something more usable at 10mm, all at f/2.8 throughout. That zoom range matters: fixed fisheyes force you to commit to the distortion or step back, this one lets you dial it in. At muffin size, it's a credible tool for skate, surf, real estate walk-throughs, or any creative brief that wants extreme perspective without lugging a dedicated prime. Pricing and mount availability not yet confirmed, so file under 'interesting until it's orderable.'
