Laowa Zero-D 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D 12mm
{ "review": "L'optique Zero-D de 12 mm f/2,8 offre un champ de 122° sans distorsion et un diaphragme à 14 lamelles pour un subtil effet étoilé. Avec seulement 499 g, une mise au point manuelle précise et une distance minimale de 14 cm, ce grand-angle reste portable et polyvalent. Idéal pour les photographes d’architecture et de paysage exigeant une netteté bord à bord, il conviendra moins aux voyageurs pressés." }
