Large Aperture – f/2
Large aperture gives you more flexibility to shoot in low-light conditions while maintaining a low ISO. It also provides a narrower depth of field and able to create beautiful bokeh.
Auto Aperture – NEW
Laowa added an automatic aperture version of the 7.5mm f/2. Assembled with a CPU chip and motor, it allows the adjustment of aperture via the camera body. The focus magnifier will be triggered for easier focusing when rotating the focus ring. The metadata will be stored on EXIF as well. It makes photography easier and convenient. No aperture ring makes the lens a bit smaller in size. *5 aperture blades in auto version create stunning 10 pins sunstars.
