Laowa 7.5mm f/2 MFT (Lightweight Black) - for DJI Inspire X5

The Laowa 7.5mm f/2 MFT (Ultralight Version) is a precision-engineered, super-wide prime designed specifically for the weight-sensitive world of aerial photography and gimbal-stabilized videography. Providing a 15mm full-frame equivalent focal length, this "Ultralight" edition sheds 20g compared to the standard version, bringing its total weight down to a featherweight 150g. This makes it an essential tool for drone pilots using the DJI Inspire series or ground-based filmmakers using compact gimbals where every gram counts for motor performance and flight time.

Despite its reduced weight, the lens maintains the same robust optical stack and all-metal build quality of the original. Its bright f/2 aperture and rectilinear (Zero-D) design make it just as powerful for astrophotography and architectural work as it is for sweeping aerial vistas, ensuring straight lines stay straight even at the edges of the frame.

Product Features in Detail

Engineered for Aerial Endurance
In drone photography, weight directly correlates to battery life. By redesigning specific mechanical parts to save 20g, this lens helps maximize your airtime. Its compact size also ensures that it won't interfere with the gimbal's range of motion, providing a smooth, unobstructed 110° view.

Professional-Grade Rectilinear Clarity
The lens utilizes two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements. This high-end optical configuration is vital for wide-angle shots, as it ensures that your aerial landscapes are sharp from corner to corner with virtually no chromatic aberration or "purple fringing" around bright highlights.

The Perfect Astrophotography Companion
For MFT users, the f/2 aperture is a major advantage for night photography. It allows you to capture the stars at lower ISO settings, resulting in cleaner images. Because it is a rectilinear lens, the constellations and horizons are rendered accurately without the warping associated with cheaper wide-angle optics.

Cinematic Motion Control
Drone pilots often struggle with the "jello" effect or high shutter speeds in bright daylight. The 46mm front filter thread allows you to attach ND filters directly, enabling you to shoot at a 180-degree shutter angle for natural-looking motion blur in your aerial videos.

Rugged and Reliable Build
Even in its lightened state, the lens features a durable metallic construction that matches the premium feel of professional MFT bodies like the Panasonic GH series or OM System OM-1. The manual focus ring is weighted and precise, giving you full control over your focal plane.

Dynamic Immersive Perspectives
The combination of a 110° field of view and a 4.7" minimum focus distance allows for "macro-wide" photography. On the ground, you can get incredibly close to a subject while keeping the entire environment in the frame, creating high-impact shots with a powerful sense of scale.
