See the World, All of It

Unleash ultra-expansive creativity with this manual-focus super-wide prime. At just 9mm—even more dramatic than typical wide‑angle lenses—the Laowa C‑Dreamer captures stunning architectural interiors, sweeping landscapes, and immersive vlogs with ease. The ultra‑fast f/2.8 aperture brightens your finder and helps with low‑light scenes, while a compact and lightweight design keeps the setup minimal and nimble.

  • 9mm focal length delivers a massive 130° angle of view—perfect for tight spaces, dramatic skies, and cinematic vlog-style perspectives.

  • Fast f/2.8 aperture: good light gathering in dawn/dusk scenarios and easier focusing through a brighter viewfinder.

  • Manual focus & aperture: tactile control with a stepless aperture ring—ideal for video and creative depth-of-field effects.

  • Rectilinear optics: minimal distortion, edge‑to‑edge clarity with sharp contrast and color rendition.

  • Ultra‑compact: under 5 oz — an ultra-portable addition to your mirrorless kit.

Ideal for: Astrophotography, vlogging, wide environmental scenes, interior architecture, and creative video work.
