  "account": "The GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS, a new mirrorless camera from the popular brand, is equipped with a Micro Four Thirds mount, allowing for a wide range of lens options. However, not all lenses that fit the mount are compatible with the ILS. GoPro has provided a list of requirements for lenses to work with the ILS: manual focus only, no focus-by-wire lenses, lenses over 250g require extra support and lenses over 50mm have not been tested yet.\n\nWith these considerations in mind, here are the best lenses for the GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS:\n\n1. Laowa 6mm T/2.1 Zero D Cine: This ultra-wide non-fisheye lens is the best option for the GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS. It has an effective focal length of 18mm with HyperSmooth, 16mm without, and a minimum focus distance of 0.1m. The lens features a T2.1 maximum aperture, is weather-sealed, and weighs just 180g. The Laowa 6mm T/2.1 Zero-D Cine is built for cinema, featuring two geared control rings for focus and iris control that work with accessories like follow focus. It minimizes barrel distortion and offers a wide 18mm view, making it an excellent choice for filmmakers.\n\n2. Laowa 7.5mm f/2 Compact Dreamer: While not as ultra-wide as the previous lens, this compact option is still an excellent choice for the GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS. With an effective focal length of 23mm with HyperSmooth, 20mm without, and a minimum focus distance of 4.7/12 cm, this lens features a rectilinear view, very little barrel distortion, and a bright f/2.8 aperture. It is lightweight, compact, and affordable, making it a popular choice among users. The Laowa 7.5mm f/2 Compact Dreamer is well-built, though it does not have weather-sealing.\n\n3. Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Fisheye: This fisheye lens is the best cropped option for the GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS. With an effective focal length of 12mm with HyperSmooth, 10.8mm without, and a minimum focus distance of 80mm, it creates a distinctive fisheye effect. The lens is compact and lightweight at 135g, and features a bright f/2.8 aperture. However, it does not have weather-sealing and the 3x crop factor can cause perspective distortion.",
