The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens is remarkably compact. This portable design makes it one of the smallest and lightest full-frame fisheye zoom lenses with a constant f/2.8 aperture, ideal for travel, adventure, and handheld shooting. Perfect for landscape photographers, vloggers, and drone-based creators, this lens delivers bold fisheye visuals without the bulk, enhancing mobility and convenience for on-the-go content creation.

Dual Fisheye Effect
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens delivers a versatile dual fisheye effect, seamlessly transitioning between two distinct visual styles on full-frame cameras. At the 8mm end, the lens produces a circular fisheye effect, capturing a 180° field of view. At the 15mm end, it transitions to a full-frame rectangular fisheye effect, filling the entire sensor with the characteristic fisheye distortion. The zoom capability allows creators to switch between these effects without changing lenses, enhancing flexibility for photography and videography applications.

Max. 180° circular fisheye
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens offers an extra-wide view, delivering a sweeping 180° angle of view at its 8mm focal length on full-frame cameras. This expansive perspective captures vast scenes in a single frame, producing a dramatic circular fisheye effect with pronounced curvature, ideal for creative effects, astrophotography, and 360° panoramas.

Diagonal fisheye
As the lens zooms to 15mm, the angle of view narrows slightly, filling the full-frame sensor with a diagonal fisheye image that retains a wide, distorted perspective. Ideal for immersive landscapes, astrophotography,

Constant Fast Aperture
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens boasts a constant T2.9 aperture throughout its zoom range, ensuring consistent exposure and depth of field control. This fast aperture excels in low-light situations, delivering outstanding performance for nighttime shoots or dimly lit environments, while also providing beautiful bokeh for creative flexibility in crafting immersive fisheye visuals.

Close Focusing Distance
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens features a minimum focusing distance of 16cm (6.3”), enabling photographers and videographers to capture subjects at close range with striking visual impact. This close focusing capability enhances the lens’s fisheye distortion, delivering an exaggerated point of view (POV). Additionally, the close focus mimics a bugeye effect, creating a playful, almost cartoonish distortion where subjects appear disproportionately large, adding a unique and bold aesthetic to images and videos.

Full Frame Coverage
The Laowa 8-15mm f/2.8 FF Zoom Fisheye Lens offers full-frame coverage, unlocking the full potential of high-resolution cameras. It delivers a true 180° circular fisheye effect at 8mm and a rectangular fisheye at 15mm, ensuring edge-to-edge clarity and maximum angle of view without cropping.

A few months ago, Shvabe announced the first Russian anamorphic cinema lenses. The Lytkarino Optical Glass Plant is developing cinema lenses with 40, 60, 80, and 100mm focal lengths. The lenses are equipped with PL-mount and a 2x compression ratio. The weight of the 100mm lens is 3 kg.

Additional informtion:

Shvabe developed the first Russian anamorphic cinema lenses

The Shvabe holding of the Rostec State Corporation is presenting a line of Russian anamorphic cinema lenses for the first time at the Innoprom-2024 International Industrial Exhibition. Such lenses, using a complex system of cylindrical lenses, allow shooting a unique ultra-wide frame. Unlike the image obtained using wide-angle lenses, the anamorphic image is not distorted at the edges of the frame and is not darkened at the corners.

Anamorphic lenses began to be used for filming in the last century. This solution allowed directors to fit a wider image into a standard frame of 35 mm film, which a regular lens could not do. The optics "compressed" a larger viewing angle horizontally into a standard area. As a result, due to the lens system, a frame with a close to square aspect ratio produced an image compressed in width. In cinemas, it was again stretched horizontally to fit a wide screen format using a reverse lens.

Today, despite the spread of wide-angle optics, anamorphic lenses are actively used by large film studios due to their high image quality and unique cinematic effects.

The line of the first Russian anamorphic cinema lenses with focal lengths of 40, 60, 80 and 100 mm was developed by the Lytkarinsky Optical Glass Plant (LZOS) of the Shvabe holding. The devices are equipped with high-quality optics and are distinguished by high light intensity, allowing work in low light. The anamorphic coefficient in the lenses is 2.0, that is, the ratio of the vertical and horizontal images is 1 to 2. The devices can be used with digital cameras with a PL bayonet, and adapters are used for other types of fastening. The lenses have an ergonomic design.

"LZOS cinema lenses have no Russian analogues, and they differ from foreign ones in their unique picture. The developments allow for the creation of extended horizontal frames, while maintaining high image quality. Cinematic effects are created using lenses suitable for both video and photography. At the same time, our products will be cheaper than foreign products," said Lev Borisov, Deputy General Director of Shvabe.

The lens with a focal length of 100 mm was tested by Russian cameramen, who noted the good cinematic quality of the new product. The device creates a shallow depth of field, background blur, bokeh and other effects. They can be seen in all films from major film studios.

"Wide-angle optics today are not able to replace anamorphic, because the former does not give such a visual result - the visual effects are "poorer". Despite the high cost of anamorphic lenses, we continue to use them, because the resulting footage is of high quality, volume and effects that cannot be achieved with a wide-angle lens and graphic editors," says creative producer Evgeny Subochev, who organized the filming of the mini-series "Land of Great Opportunities", the film "Ural Derby" and other projects.

LZOS is a leading Russian manufacturer of optical materials and the only plant in the country that produces large-sized ground- and space-based mirrors. Over the years, the plant has manufactured mirrors up to six meters in diameter. Today, these products are successfully used on the most powerful telescopes around the world.

Also in the line of the Lytkarino Optical Glass Plant there are Rubinar lenses, which are suitable for both standard photography and stargazing.

ON1 2025.2 released with smarter tools, faster edits

History of ON1:

In 2005, ON1 was born with a bold but simple idea: photography software should be created for photographers — not just for designers or software professionals.

At the time, founder Craig Keudell saw an opportunity. Tools originally built as Photoshop plug-ins for graphic designers were becoming less essential as designers became more proficient with editing software. But photographers? Many were still new to digital workflows and didn’t want to spend their creative time buried in menus and layers.

“Photographers have always been focused on capturing great moments — not becoming software experts,” Craig explains. “That’s where we saw a chance to help by making tools that worked the way photographers think. We saw a huge opportunity to tailor those tools for this growing photography market.”

That insight became the foundation of ON1.

Starting Small, Thinking Big

In those early days, ON1 (then called onOne Software) launched a suite of powerful tools like Genuine Fractals, PhotoFrame, Intellihance, and pxl SmartScale.

“Getting everything off the ground was hard. There was no cloud, no remote work. We built and maintained our own servers, databases — all of it,” Craig recalls. “We focused on one order at a time. Eventually, that turned into real momentum.”

The company’s first significant break came when Shutterbug Magazine featured Genuine Fractals on its cover. From that moment, things really took off.

But ON1 wasn’t just built on product success. It was built on values — creating a company culture that prioritized employees and customers. As Craig puts it:

“We wanted to build a people-first company — one that prioritized our team and customers, not outside investors,” Craig says. “That mindset of taking care of each other has guided us every step of the way.”

That people-first mindset still defines ON1 today.

A Major Turning Point: The Suite Era

As ON1 grew, so did its ambitions. The company moved from plug-ins into a more unified editing experience, culminating in the launch of the Perfect Photo Suite.

“We gave the entire Suite away to everyone at a Photoshop roadshow,” remembers Dan Harlacher, VP of Product. “It was a $500+ product — and we just gave it away. That was a major moment for us. It put ON1 in front of a massive audience.”

The Suite combined powerful tools like masking, portrait retouching, resizing, and effects — all inside one package. And with each release, ON1 became more than just a collection of plug-ins. It was becoming a full-featured photo editor.

Built with Photographers — Literally

In 2016, ON1 took a bold step: launching the Photo RAW Project. It wasn’t just a new product — it was an invitation.

“We told our users, ‘You now have a voice in the future of raw photo editing,’ and we meant it,” says Dan. “We opened up our roadmap and started building directly with our community.”

The result was ON1 Photo RAW — a fast, flexible, non-destructive RAW editor with layers, effects, and AI tools built in. Since its launch, ON1 has released nearly 1,000 user-submitted ideas through the project.

“That level of engagement is something most software companies won’t match,” says Patrick Smith, Senior VP and GM. “But it only works if you’re truly listening — and we are. We’ve made community feedback part of our product development DNA.”

Patrick emphasizes that it’s not just about features — it’s about solving real problems for real photographers.

“When we build, we’re not chasing trends. We’re asking: Will this make editing faster? Will it be less complicated and allow for more creativity? Will it help someone fall back in love with their photography? That’s the bar.”

Education That Empowers

As ON1’s software evolved, so did its approach to education. Dylan Kotecki, ON1’s lead educator, has taught thousands of users over the years.

“What I love most is that click moment — when something finally makes sense for someone,” he says. “You can see their confidence grow right in front of you.”

Dylan’s teaching has evolved in tandem with the software.

“It’s not just about how a tool works anymore. It’s about knowing when to use it, why it matters, and how it aligns with your vision. It’s about helping people feel like editors, not just button-pushers.”

One of his most impactful lessons? A deep dive into masking techniques — a topic many find intimidating but one that unlocks powerful creativity.

“The feedback was amazing. People realized masking isn’t just technical — it’s expressive. It’s how you fine-tune your story in a photo.”

And when asked what advice he gives new users?

“Click around. Try things. You can’t mess anything up in ON1 — everything’s non-destructive. Editing should feel like a creative playground, not a checklist.”

A Culture of Connection

For Jonny Davenport, a longtime photographer, QA engineer, and support lead at ON1, the work is deeply personal.

“Photography is my life. It’s all I really know,” he says. “And every conversation I have with users — whether they’re brand new or seasoned pros — is a good day.”

Jonny’s experience in both film and digital helps him connect with users across generations. And that connection often becomes lasting.

“I’ve met people at trade shows, on the road, over support calls — and they’ve become friends. Whether it’s catching up with Frank Salas in Texas or chatting with a fellow film shooter, it all feels like one big community.”

He’s proud of how ON1 listens to users — not just in theory, but in practice.

“We’re a small team, so when I hear feedback, I bring it directly to Dan or the devs. Everyone’s always open. It’s how we improve.”

Patrick echoes that sentiment:

“One of the most unique things about ON1 is how connected our product, support, and engineering teams are. There are no silos here. If a customer shares an insight, it doesn’t just get filed — it gets a voice in the room.”

Looking Forward: The Next Chapter

So what’s next for ON1?

“We’re always balancing what’s new with what works,” Dan says. “That means faster workflows, smarter AI, and deeper mobile-to-desktop integration. But always with the same goal: helping photographers stay in control.”

To Craig, the core hasn’t changed.

“We’re still here for the same reason we started — to make great tools for photographers. And we’re just getting started.”

Patrick sums it up:

“20 years in software is rare. 20 years with a loyal, passionate community is even rarer. It’s a huge responsibility — and a privilege — to keep building for the people who got us here.”
