Laowa 10mm f/2 Zero-D 10mm

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

The f/2 maximum aperture combined with a 125g weight makes this an exceptionally bright, portable ultra-wide prime for Micro Four Thirds. Its Zero-D optical design and in-camera aperture control via a CPU chip add practical precision to a compact, 46mm filter-threaded metal build. This lens is best for travel photographers and lightweight gimbal videographers who need a fast 20mm-equivalent field of view and can work with manual focus.
