Looking for a an ultra-wide lens for your Canon EOS R? The Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL has just been launched for the RF mount.

Until now you were out of luck if you wanted something this wide for your Canon EOS R5 or Canon EOS R6, as the best Canon RF lenses previously topped out at 14mm. However, the Laowa 11mm f/4.5 FF RL now means that you can shoot natively wide on your RF camera without having to adapt bulky DSLR lenses.
