Laowa's ultra-compact wide-angle pancake — the 10mm f/4 for Nikon Z in near-body-cap format.
The Laowa 10mm f/4 Pancake for Nikon Z is an extraordinary engineering achievement — a 10mm rectilinear full-frame lens in near-pancake format. At 10mm on full frame with zero distortion philosophy, it provides one of the widest rectilinear perspectives in the most compact possible package. The f/4 enables the ultra-thin design.
At 10mm on full frame, the field of view is approximately 130 degrees — extraordinary width with straight lines maintained. Sharpness is good in the centre. The f/4 is adequate — at 10mm, depth of field is extensive regardless. The zero-distortion Laowa philosophy keeps straight lines straight at this extreme wide angle. Filter thread enables standard filters.
