Laowa 10-18 mm f/4.5-5.6 Zoom
Characterised by its particularly compact and lightweight design, the Laowa 10-18 mm f/4.5-5.6 FE Zoom from Venus Optics is a small and versatile ultra-wide-angle zoom for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras. Its elegant size and versatile wide-angle focal length range make it an ideal choice for landscape, nature, and architectural photography as well as astrophotography. Its optical design incorporates extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements to correct various aberrations and distortions in order to achieve sharper and clearer image quality and accurate colour rendition. A Frog Eye coating has also been applied to repel dust and moisture from the front element of the lens for improved performance in challenging environmental conditions. In addition, the manual aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth and silent aperture changes suited to video applications, and the rear of the lens is threaded to accept 37mm screw-in filters.
Features
- The ultra-wide-angle zoom is designed for Nikon Z mirrorless cameras in FX format.
- Particularly elegant design measuring only 2.75 x 3.6" and weighing approximately 1 lb.
- An extra-low dispersion element reduces chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for increased clarity and colour neutrality. Two aspherical elements are also present to limit spherical aberrations and improve sharpness.
- A Frog Eye coating has been applied to repel dust and moisture in order to increase protection when working in challenging conditions.
- Manual focus allows working with subjects as close as 5.9" with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.
- The manual aperture ring can be mechanically « de-clicked » for smooth and silent rotation across the entire aperture range, making it ideal for video applications.
- Five straight aperture blades are used to produce sharp 10-point stars when photographing point light sources at smaller apertures.
- Accepts 37mm filters via a rear filter holder and is also compatible with the optional Laowa 100mm magnetic filter holder.
