[Manual Focus] The Laowa 10mm F4 is a great little lens. Well built, pretty sharp, very well corrected for distortion, and impressively tiny. You could complain about the rather pronounced vignetting at wide apertures, or the lack of critical sharpness in the extreme corners, these are real issues. Or you could marvel at how absolutely tiny this lens is, how little distortion it has, how well built it is, how useful for creative composition it's close focus capabilities are, and how you didn't have to spend a lot of money to get such a handy ultra-wide on your APSc camera (Fuji-X in my case). A great tool that's easy to keep with you at all times and easy to appreciate despite its minor failings.

[5] Very good, lightweight compact lens. I have tested this on my Z Cam S6 and it does in fact cover Super 35 in 6K, there is some slight issue with the corners in open gate only. It's rectilinear, so on the S6 with no lens correction in body it looks great, plus of course it is also way wider than m4/3. So for an S6 owner, you get the super wideangle, low distortion and electronic control.
Works fine on my Lumix cameras, but I have heard of some ppl with issues with the firmware. Works fine for me so far.
Sharpness: while not at the absolute tippy top, it's veru sharp across the frame. 2.8 is better than 2.0, and F4 or 4.5 is the sweet spot.
Aperture: this is electronic only.
Hood: a bit too flexible and small, but fine and it comes with the camera.
There's really no issues with this lens. It also can focus fairly close. It's hard to focus only because everything is always in focus.
When you look at it, it's tiny so you figure, well, it can't be that bright. But, actually, it's a bright lens with good color. It can overexpose a bit if you set it to auto, but this is easy to deal with with exposure compensation.
Flare: sure, it's a 10mm lens.

[Manual Focus] This lens is surprisingly sharp and very tiny. Color rendering is great, as is 3D pop. The only downsides are a thin focus ring (take care to keep your fingers out of the shot), and fairly substantial vignetting (which I actually like, as it provides sone character to the images, but easily fixed in Lightroom). Someone here said it was difficult to focus — but that problem is also easily solved. Just activate focus in peaking in your camera’s viewfinder. The best $300 I have ever spent on a camera lens. So much fun.

[37 mm (Front)] sharp, smooth and inexpensive, what not to love. (BMCC 2.5k EF)

[APS-C] I chose this lens over the 7.5mm as I didn't want to go so wide. I found the 10mm is wide enough and with this lens being $100 cheaper than the 7.5mm along with it being an official M4/3 lens with camera communication, I felt it was a better value.


The image quality is great and I find it to be plenty sharp, even wide open. The sweet spot seems to be around F4.0. I also love the close focus distance which gives some nice macro images. There is some vignette at wide open just like the 7.5mm.


This is a great focal length for doing on camera gimbal shots. I feel that the 7.5mm is too wide and requires you to get much closer to your subject which leads to facial distortions. (big noses)


Be sure to turn off the in-body I.S. when walking with the lens hand held or you'll get the dreaded warbly background. I didn't notice too much warbly background with I.S. using the gimbal but I try to switch off I.S. to be safe. I.S. isn't needed with this wide of a lens on a gimbal.

[f/4] verry good

[109.3°] I am using this most for interior video shooting, especially showcasing real estate properties. I really needed that extra wide angle that this lens provides. Extremely useful for steadicam work. I like the declicked aperture. When combined with a focus pull, this is really helpful when shooting in homes with varies light conditions; large windows, etc.

[37 mm (Front)] Amazing lens. I needed a wide angle for real estate and for the price is can't be beat. Manual focus is not an issue at all because I'm not trying to have the camera decide what to focus on anyways. I've also been using it for astro photography too. Wish it was an FX lens because I'm losing quite a bit of the sensor, but just because it's a DX lens, not that big of a deal. Insane field of view to capture amazing night time lapses and milky way photos.

For the price, this lens is incredible. I'm sure the 1k lenses are sharper, but I can't keep spending that much on gear.

[109.3°] I wanted something wider that the 16-50 kit lens for my Z50. The 10mm (15mm Full Frame equivalent) fits the need perfectly. Surprisingly the lens appears to be constructed all all metal, no plastic. I don't mind MF for wide angle lenses like this.

[0.745 lb] Lente muito bem construída. Mesmo pelo valor, a construção é prime. Foco manual de precisão. Mount correto para Nikon Z. Fotos nítida no meio (linhas retas). Problemas comuns de qualquer grande angular. Recomendo!
