Venus Optics shows eight new Laowa models, including the widest Fujifilm GFX lens
(Digital Photography Review)

A dramatic flurry of lenses has emerged from independent manufacturer Laowa at Photokina as the company shows a total of eight new models in a wide range of mounts. The company is showing a 17mm F4 for the Fujifilm GFX medium format system that will offer the angle of view we´d expect from a 13mm focal length on a 135 format camera. The lens will be the widest available lens for Fujifilm´s system and, as part of the Zero D series, it should have only the slightest amount of distortion. Other lenses of note in the collection include a designed-for-cinema 25-100mm T2.9 zoom marking Laowa´s item into the professional movie market. The lens is claimed to be parfocal, so focus doesn´t shift during zooming, and to display minimal breathing as focus is altered. Drone and MFT users will both get versions of a 9mm F2.9 super wide, while macro lovers will be able to enjoy a 100mm macro that can reproduce a subject at double size on the sensor. All the details are below and on the Venus Optics website. Pricing and availability are yet to be confirmed.
