This exciting prime lens provides ultra wide-angle coverage up to 113° angle of view (100° on MFT system). The tiny size & light weight match perfectly with mirrorless cameras and are suitable for use with gimbals. The new DL mount lets you attach this impressive lens onto the DJI Inspire 2 with X7 gimbal, making it the widest lens available for the drone. MFT mount is now also available to be used on your MFT cameras like BMPCC 4K. 2 aspherical elements plus 3 extra-low dispersion elements successfully correct chromatic aberration, realize close-to-zero distortion & deliver excellent corner to corner sharpness.

Fuji X, Sony E, Canon EF-M, DJI DL & MFT mounts are available. We have created a Facebook community for DJI pilots to share their experience and amazing work with our 9mm DL lens. Please click here to join.

As a Zero-D lens, this 9mm f/2.8's optical design is specifically designed to minimize any optical distortion to the lowest. This is extremely useful for both architectural photographers and aerial videographers. This also saves them a lot time in post-processing.

The optical design incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced color fringing. Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture is well-suited to working in low and difficult lighting conditions.

The tiny size & lightweight design earn this lens a permanent spot in the camera bag. Additionally, a petal-shaped lens hood is also included to reduce flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions. Its sleek and lightweight design is well-matched to mirrorless bodies and is ideal for everyday shooting as well as use on gimbals.

As a Zero-D lens, this 9mm f/2.8's optical design is specifically meant to limit distortion for clear and accurate portrayals of landscapes and architectural subjects. The optical construction also incorporates a pair of aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements to control both spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and reduced color fringing. A Frog Eye Coating has been applied, too, to repel dust and moisture from the front element of the lens to benefit working in trying environmental conditions. Its sleek and lightweight design is well-matched to mirrorless bodies and is ideal for everyday shooting as well as use on gimbals. Additionally, a petal-shaped lens hood is also incorporated into the lens' design to reduce flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.


Ultra wide-angle 9mm f/2.8 prime is designed for APS-C-format FUJIFILM X-mount mirrorless cameras and provides a 13.5mm equivalent focal length.

Bright f/2.8 maximum aperture is well-suited to working in low and difficult lighting conditions.

Rectilinear design renders subjects with minimal distortion in order to suit landscape and architectural applications.

Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and color neutrality. Two aspherical elements are also featured to limit spherical aberrations for improved sharpness.

A Frog Eye Coating has been applied to repel both dust and moisture for added protection when working in inclement conditions.

Manual focus design offers a minimum focusing distance of 4.7''.
