Laowa 19mm Zero-D f2.8 (Fuji G-Mount)

The Laowa 19 mm f/2.8 Zero‑D (G‑Mount) is a dedicated ultra‑wide prime for Fujifilm’s medium‑format GFX cameras like the GFX 100 II. Offering a 110° angle of view, it sits at about 15 mm full‑frame equivalent, making it superb for landscapes and architecture, but lends itself to a huge range of uses where that ultra wide angle shot is required without distortion.

Weighing just 546 g and measuring around 80 mm long, it’s remarkably compact for a medium‑format lens—lighter than many native GF lenses, and easy to carry for travel or handheld shooting.  The lens employs a 12‑element, 10‑group optical design including 2 aspherical, 3 ED, and one UHR glass element, delivering sharp, bright imagery with close‑to‑zero optical distortion (hence the Zero‑D)—preserving straight lines even at this extreme wide angle

With a maximum f/2.8 aperture, the lens performs admirably in low light and can produce pleasing separation in select compositions. Its minimum focus distance of 18 cm allows creative close-up shots with a sweeping background. It also features a 5‑blade aperture diaphragm that creates attractive 10‑point sunstars when stopped down,

Overall, the Laowa 19 mm f/2.8 Zero‑D G‑Mount strikes a rare balance: ultra‑wide coverage, minimal distortion, fast aperture, and portability—delivering a high‑quality, cost‑effective alternative in the GFX ecosystem.
