Our editorial take on the AF 7.5mm f/2.8

Laowa is expanding its autofocus lineup with the AF 7.5mm f/2.8, an ultra-wide prime that brings the company's zero-distortion fisheye heritage into the autofocus era. At 7.5mm, this lens is aimed squarely at Micro Four Thirds shooters who need extreme width for landscape, architecture, or immersive video work. The f/2.8 maximum aperture is typical for ultra-wide primes in this focal range and should offer decent low-light capability.

Laowa has a solid track record with manual ultra-wide glass, and adding autofocus to a lens this wide is a meaningful step for creators who prioritize speed and convenience over manual focus control. Without pricing, specs, or hands-on impressions, it's impossible to say how this lens will compare to competing ultra-wides from Olympus, Panasonic, or Samyang. For now, it's a promising addition to the MFT ecosystem if Laowa can deliver its signature optical quality with reliable AF performance.

Best for: Micro Four Thirds creators waiting for an autofocus ultra-wide prime from Laowa.
