Description
The Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 Zoom Lens for Sony E-mount is an ultra-compact, lightweight ultra-wide-angle zoom designed for full-frame Sony mirrorless cameras. Covering an expansive 10-18mm focal range, this versatile lens is ideal for landscape photography, architecture, travel, astrophotography, and interior shooting, delivering dramatic perspectives in an exceptionally portable design.
Despite its small size, the lens features an advanced optical construction with one extra-low dispersion element and two aspherical elements to minimize chromatic aberrations, distortion, and spherical aberrations. This ensures sharp images, excellent clarity, and accurate color reproduction across the entire zoom range.
A specialized Frog Eye Coating protects the front element by repelling dust and moisture, making the lens reliable for outdoor photography in challenging environments. The manual focus design allows close focusing down to 5.9 inches, providing creative opportunities for dynamic wide-angle compositions with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.
For hybrid shooters, the de-clickable manual aperture ring enables smooth and silent aperture adjustments, making it perfect for video recording. The lens also features five straight diaphragm blades, producing crisp 10-point sunstars when shooting bright light sources at smaller apertures.
Measuring just 2.75 x 3.6 inches and weighing approximately 1 lb, the Laowa 10-18mm is one of the most compact full-frame ultra-wide zoom lenses available. It also supports 37mm rear screw-in filters and is compatible with the Laowa Magnetic 100mm Filter Holder for added creative control.
Perfect for photographers and filmmakers seeking a portable Sony E-mount ultra-wide zoom lens, the Laowa 10-18mm combines versatility, durability, and high optical performance in a travel-friendly design.
