Venus Optics Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 Zoom Lens for Sony E Mount Camera

This lens is currently the widest zoom lens available for full frame mirrorless cameras. Designed primarily for travel photography, we have managed to compress the size to the smallest in its class, less than 9.1 cm (3.6 in.) long and only 496 g (1.1 lb.). The 130° (10mm) to 102° (18mm) angle of view provides flexibility for photographers to compose landscape or architecture photos with ease. The aperture blade system is carefully designed to produce the best sun-star renderings among all UWA lenses on the market. This is currently the world’s widest native zoom lens for full frame mirrorless cameras. It provides a wide range of perspective from 130° (10mm) to 102° (18mm) and it is excellent for landscape or architecture photography. Designed primarily for travel photography, we have managed to compress the size to the smallest and lightest in its class, less than 9.1 cm (3.6 in.) and only 496g (1.1 lbs). Not only is it so much smaller than the other similar lenses in the market. it’s so much wider! An ordinary sunstar rendering can often be a deal breaker for landscape photographers. Our new Laowa 10-18mm, however, has been carefully designed to incorporate 5 straight aperture blades to produce well-defined, sharp and clean 10-stroke sunstars. “At 10mm, you will see sunstars already at the maximum aperture of f/4.5” comments by Bastian Kratzke from phillipreeve.net.
