The expansion of the wide-angle lens range by the Chinese manufacturer continues. The last one presented is the Laowa 10 mm f / 2 Zero-D MFT which, as can be guessed, is designed for cameras in the MQT format (Micro Four Thirds). All this is combined with a focal length of mm equal to 20 mm equivalent in the format 35 mm.
The characteristics of Laowa 10 mm f / 2 Zero-D MFT
The new lens Laowa 10 mm f / 2 Zero-D MFT has an optical design that provides 11 elements divided into 7 groups with three ED and two aspherical lenses. The viewing angle is instead of 96 ° and being a Zero-D lens the distortion is substantially zeroed on the whole frame. The maximum aperture is equal to f / 2 with a diaphragm made with 5 blades allowing to therefore have a good overall brightness and produce a scenic ten-pointed star on the light sources.
The minimum distance focus is equal to 12 cm and frontally it is possible to use filters of 46 mm. It must also be considered that this lens has reduced dimensions and weight equal to 53 x 41 mm and 125 grams so much that it is smaller than the 7.5mm f / 2 version and the 9mm f / 2.8 version. However, this is not a completely manual lens considering that we find the CPU and motor for automatic aperture control (even if the focus cannot be AF). The official price for the Italian market is 486 EUR .
