Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 Zoom - Leica L

The Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 Zoom Lens is a full frame compatible ultra wide angle zoom lens featuring an impressive 102 - 130 degree angle of view. The Laowa 10-18mm is a full manual lens, (including manual focus) with no electronic connections. Available in Sony FE/ Nikon Z/ Leica L mounts it can also be used on Sony's smaller APS-C sized sensors cameras, still giving a wide focal length of 15-27mm equivalent.

Compact and relatively lightweight at 496g, the Laowa 10-18mm offers a super wide perspective, whilst delivering great sharpness for a wide angle zoom lens. Lens design is 14 elements in 10 groups with 2 Aspherical elements and an Extra Low Dispersion element to provide the maximum optical performance throughout the zoom range.

Due to the compact design, the Laowa 10-18mm offers versatile options for filters users which will be a welcome relief for many landscape photographers. Filter options include a rear 37mm slot for UV / ND filters, or optional filter holder for 100mm wide filters (such as Gradient /ND Grads, or other 100mm filters). As well as being a very capable performer, the lens has a straight 5 bladed aperture, carefully chosen to offer a pleasant 10-points sunstars rendering, making it an excellent tool for nightscape photography. Short focusing distance as close as 15cm (which is about the closest in its class) for some mini-macro shooting possibilities.

Easy conversion between photo and video mode with a selectable Click to clickless aperture design makes the lens appealing to photographers and videographers alike. The Click / clickless aperture can be toggled by the switch on the lens barrel which allows users to quickly switch between click-less and clicked aperture.
