What is the laowa 9mm f 2 8 zero d good for?

The Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D is a manual-focus prime for APS-C cameras, and it's a small, nearly distortion-free ultra-wide. On APS-C it frames like a 14mm on full frame, so it suits landscapes, interiors, architecture and anything where you want to fit a lot in. Its f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/4.2 on that size, so it's not a low-light lens, but it keeps a lot sharp.

It works on Fujifilm X, Sony E, Nikon Z, L-Mount and Micro Four Thirds bodies. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like 18mm full frame. On the larger-sensor bodies it works in an APS-C crop mode at fewer megapixels. If you shoot a Fujifilm X-T5 or a Sony a6700, it's a natural fit. Read Sensor sizes if you're unsure which size your camera uses, and the Focal length converter explains the depth-of-field maths.
