Product Information

Full details

The Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D FF lens is a premier choice for architectural and landscape photographers who require a massive field of view without the barrel distortion common in ultra-wide lenses. It offers an impressive 130.4-degree angle of view and a fast f/2.8 aperture in a remarkably lightweight package, though users should be prepared to handle manual or specific auto-focus settings depending on their camera mount.

FAQs

Is this lens a fisheye?

No, it is specifically designed with Zero-D technology to keep lines straight, providing a rectilinear perspective rather than the curved distortion of a fisheye.

Can I use filters with this lens?

Yes, it features a 77mm front filter thread, making it compatible with most standard circular filters.

What is the primary use case for this lens?

It is best suited for architecture, interior, and landscape photography where a very wide field of view is needed without distortion.

Does it produce sunstars?

Yes, when stopped down, the lens is designed to produce a distinct 10-point sunstar effect on bright light sources.

What is the closest I can focus?

The lens has a minimum focusing distance of 12cm from the subject to the sensor.

Troubleshooting

Visible vignetting when using a filter

Ensure you are using a slim-profile filter. Standard thick filter frames can obstruct the extreme 130.4-degree field of view.

Images appear blurry at the edges

Check that the lens is properly seated on the camera mount and that the focus is set correctly for the desired depth of field.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Laowa 10mm f/2.8 lens, follow these guidelines:

  1. Attachment: Align the lens mount index with your camera body and rotate until it clicks securely into place.
  2. Filter Usage: Since the front element is wide, ensure that your 77mm filters are 'slim' versions to avoid vignetting at the extreme corners of the frame.
  3. Cleaning: Use a high-quality microfiber cloth and a lens blower to remove dust. Because of the bulbous nature of wide-angle elements, avoid abrasive surfaces.
  4. Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place with the front and rear caps attached to prevent moisture accumulation or scratches on the glass.
