The GL Optics 12mm T2.9 is the world’s widest full frame PL-mount lens.
The super wide-angle GL Optics 12mm T2.9 covers an image circle of 48mm (diagonal) and weighs in at 0.75kg (1.65lb). Close focus is just 7″ (17.8cm), and the lens mount is user interchangeable between PL/EF/Nikon/Sony E/ and Sony a-mount (extra mounts are available at additional cost).
GL Optics claims the lens exhibits slight wide angle distortion, which should be expected given 12mm on a full frame sensor is going to give you a very wide field of view.
The 12mm T2.9 looks to be based on the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D, which is claimed to be the world’s fastest and widest full frame rectilinear lens. GL Optics don’t normally mess around with the optics when they rehouse lenses, so I would expect the 12mm T2.9 to perform in a similar way to the Laowa.
The super wide-angle 12mm T2.9 looks to be a nice option for shooting landscapes and architecture, especially if you are using it on a full frame sensor.
