Description

The Laowa VE1018FE by Venus Optics is an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens with top professional optical quality, compatible with Sony's Full Frame E-mount.

Features:

  • Viewing angle from 102° to 130°.
  • Lightweight and compact.
  • Ideal for everyday use.
  • Suitable for architectural photography, landscape photography, astrophotography, and videography with gimbals.
  • Special "Frog Eye" coating for protection against water and dust.

Ultra-Wide Range & Compact Body

The lens offers an impressive viewing angle range from 130° (at 10mm) to 102° (at 18mm), making it ideal for landscapes and architecture. Despite its ultra-wide field of view, it remains exceptionally compact, measuring less than 9.1 cm in length and weighing just 496g, for outstanding portability.

Clear Sunstars & Versatile Filter System

It incorporates a specially designed aperture with 5 straight blades, producing crisp 10-point sunstars even at the maximum aperture of f/4.5. It also features a rear slot for 37mm screw-in filters (ND) and supports magnetic front filter systems with a width of 100mm.

Close Focusing & Video Features

It offers one of the shortest focusing distances in its class, just 15 cm from the sensor, enabling creative shots with a macro perspective. It also features a switch that toggles the aperture ring to clickless operation for silent adjustments while filming.

Advanced Optical Construction

The optical construction consists of 14 elements in 10 groups, including 2 aspherical elements and 1 extra-low dispersion (ED) element. This design minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration, ensuring high sharpness from edge to edge.

    This lens is a reason for someone to make the transition to FF.

    It is the widest rectilinear FF zoom lens regardless of the manufacturer, and the images it produces at 10mm are simply impressive...
    It is not the sharpest lens and it has noticeable vignetting, but it compensates with the overall result.
    It is sharp in the center even when wide open, but the edges require 1-2 stops down for the best/uniform result. Every photo feels like a panorama!
    Very high-quality construction and quite small for what it is. It balances very well on the a7R II.
    It is so wide that even on a crop body, it remains wide-angle!
    The best focal length is between 10~14mm.
    It accepts 37mm filters (!!!) on the back or 100mm square filters with the dedicated filter holder from Laowa.
