Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D FF [Sony E Mount]

Released in 2024, the Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D FF is a full-frame rectilinear ultra-wide lens for Sony E-mount cameras and one of the most unusual options in this category. With a 130.4° angle of view, it can capture architecture, interiors, establishing shots, real estate, landscapes, immersive handheld footage and dramatic foreground-heavy compositions while avoiding the curved fisheye rendering associated with many lenses this wide. The Sony E version also stands out as Laowa’s first autofocus lens.

Autofocus, 12 cm close focus and extreme perspective

The Sony E-mount version supports autofocus, making it practical for both stills and video when working in fast-changing environments. Minimum focus distance is just 0.12 m, and maximum magnification reaches 0.24x, so the lens can place a foreground subject extremely close to the front element while still showing a huge amount of the surrounding scene. This creates exaggerated depth and scale that can be especially effective for product details, dynamic movement and creative environmental portraits.

There is no optical image stabilization, so stabilization depends on the camera body or external support. At approximately 420 g, however, the lens is relatively light for a full-frame 10mm f/2.8 design and can work well on compact mirrorless rigs and many gimbals.

Zero-D optics and full-frame coverage

Laowa uses 15 elements in 9 groups, including two aspherical elements and three ED elements. The Zero-D design is intended to keep straight architectural lines looking natural while controlling distortion across the very wide frame. The f/2.8 aperture also makes the lens more useful for interiors, night work and astrophotography than slower ultra-wide alternatives.

The autofocus version uses a five-blade diaphragm, which can create a distinctive 10-point sunstar when stopped down. This differs from the optional manual-focus variant, which uses a 14-blade diaphragm.

77mm filters and rental setup

A built-in 77mm filter thread is a major practical advantage for a lens this wide, allowing direct use of standard ND, polarizing and diffusion filters without a dedicated oversized holder. Our rental set includes the Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D FF in Sony E mount, front and rear lens caps and a protective lens pouch.
