Laowa is excited to unveil its very first auto-focus lens, the Laowa 10mm f2.8 Zero-D FF! This groundbreaking lens is the world’s premier rectilinear 10mm full-frame lens featuring an f2.8 aperture and the first auto-focus option in Laowa’s lineup, specifically for the Sony FE Mount and Nikon Z Mount. Crafted with a compact and lightweight design, the lens tips the scales at a mere 420 grams while delivering superb image quality with minimal distortion (Zero-D). Its exceptionally short 12mm close focusing distance and its adaptability for ultra-wide portraiture, landscape shots, and astrophotography make the 10mm f2.8 a game-changer for photography enthusiasts.
Marking a significant milestone in Laowa’s decade-long journey in optical engineering, the Laowa 10mm f2.8 Zero-D FF boasts exceptional optical craftsmanship. The lens incorporates 5 aperture blades and 15 elements arranged in 9 groups, including 2 aspherical and 3 ED glass elements. This meticulous design ensures unparalleled image sharpness and chromatic aberration control, capturing every detail with stunning precision. The f2.8 aperture opens up numerous opportunities for low-light landscape and architectural photography, allowing for ultra-wide perspectives that were previously unattainable. Photographers and videographers will find the ultra-wide-angle capabilities of this lens ideal for achieving innovative and unique shots.
The 10mm f2.8 Zero-D FF also features an impressive minimum focusing distance of 12cm, enabling photographers to get extraordinarily close to their subjects and create fascinating wide-angle macro-style images with a striking separation between the subject and the background. Despite its ultra-wide angle, the lens includes a 77mm front filter thread, making it an invaluable tool for a variety of photographic and videographic applications. From capturing unique landscapes, architectural marvels, and interiors to stunning astrophotography, time-lapse sequences, and vlogging, the lens offers an extraordinary 130.4° angle of view. This wide perspective amplifies the sense of space and allows you to encapsulate expansive landscapes with dramatic effect in a single shot, opening up creative possibilities that were once out of reach.
This full-frame lens excels at minimizing distortion, maintaining both horizontal and vertical straight lines from edge to edge, providing an authentic 10mm experience without the need for in-camera lens correction. Despite its advanced specifications for full-frame cameras, the lens remains incredibly portable, measuring just 7cm (2.79 inches) in length and weighing only 420 grams (0.93 lbs). This makes it an ideal companion for photographers and videographers who are always on the go.
Additionally, the lens comes equipped with a 77mm filter thread, allowing for the direct use of screw-in filters. This feature offers convenience and cost savings, as no extra filter holder is necessary. It provides photographers and videographers with ultimate flexibility when shooting, enhancing their creative freedom without adding complexity.
