Editor’s Note: (Monday, February 22, 2021 at 1:43 PM): The original version of this article originally stated the Canon RF version of the Laowa 11mm lens was $699. That is incorrect and we have updated it to the correct price, $799.
Venus Optics has announced it’s adding new mount support for two of its Laowa lenses. The Laowa 11mm F4.5 FF RL (full-frame rectilinear) lens is now available for Canon RF mount camera systems and the Laowa 65mm F2.8 2x Ultra-Macro APO is now available for Nikon Z mount camera systems.

The lens has already been available for Leica M, L, Sony FE and Nikon Z mount cameras.
