Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 Zoom
Characterised by its particularly compact and lightweight form, the Venus Optics Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 FE zoom is a small, versatile ultra-wide-angle lens for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its sleek size and versatile range of wide-angle focal lengths make it the ideal tool for landscape, nature and architectural photography as well as astrophotography applications. Its optical design incorporates both extra-low dispersion and aspherical elements to correct various aberrations and distortions for sharper and clearer image quality and accurate colour rendering. A Frog Eye coating has also been applied to repel dust and moisture from the front lens element, which is beneficial for working in challenging environmental conditions. Additionally, the manual aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth and silent aperture changes suitable for video applications, and the rear of the lens is threaded to accept 37mm screw-in filters.
Features
- Ultra-wide-angle zoom designed for Sony full-frame E-mount mirrorless cameras, this 10-18mm lens can also be used with APS-C models where it offers an equivalent focal length range of 15-27mm.
- Particularly sleek design measuring only 2.75 x 3.6" and weighing about 1 pound.
- One 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 both dust and moisture for additional protection when working in adverse weather conditions.
- The manual focus design 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 aperture range, making it ideal for video applications.
- Five straight diaphragm blades are used to render sharp 10-point stars when photographing point light sources with smaller apertures.
- Accepts 37mm filters via a rear filter mount and is also compatible with the optional Laowa 100mm magnetic filter holder.
