“A body cap with function!” Venus Optics has a new cookie

Chinese lens professional Venus Optics is launching the Laowa 10mm f/4 Cookie Lens, which it says is a single of the world’s widest rectilinear pancake lenses for APS-C cameras.

The new Laowa 10mm f/4 Cookie Lens for APS-C mirrorless cameras is definitely a cookie sizing. A mere 25mm (.98”) long and weighing only 130g (.29lbs), it can practically be set in a pocket, leaving Venus Optics to not fully facetiously assert that it’s a little bit like “a body cap with purpose.”

The business arrives out swinging on top quality way too. “Most of the huge-angle pancake lenses on the market place are possibly fisheye or pinhole they usually have apparent barrel distortion and inferior image top quality,” it states. “However, this new Laowa Cookie Lens is outfitted with a large-effectiveness optical style, featuring tremendous-low distortion and optimized graphic high quality to make certain consumers get comprehensive advantage of the mirrorless technique.”

The business states that the Laowa 10mm f/4 Cookie retains vertical and horizontal lines from corner to corner to minimise distortion, and definitely some of the photos taken from pointed out specialists (see below) seem to be to bear that out.

It will come with 12 features in an 8 group optical construction, with 2 aspherical and 4 extra-minimal dispersion aspects. Created with 5 aperture blades, an impressive 10-stage sunstar can be obtained easily when stopping down and it is outfitted with a 37mm thread allowing for direct filter mounting

It is offered in black and silver versions to match with the digital camera system for multiple mounts which includes Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony E, L mount, and Fuji X. US pricing is $299, with prices then various all over diverse nations around the world relying on which section of the world’s financial system is in meltdown that working day.
