Overview

The Venus Laowa 7.5mm F2 MFT is a compact, all-metal manual-focus ultra-wide lens for Micro Four Thirds, praised for its excellent build quality. Optically, it delivers impressive center sharpness even wide open, with good border quality but soft extreme corners. Distortion is moderate at 2.9%, while heavy vignetting at f/2 improves when stopped down to f/4 or f/5.6. The tiny lens hood can increase vignetting. It suits travel, landscape, and street photographers who prioritize size and speed over autofocus and corner sharpness.
