Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 FE Zoom
This lens is currently the widest zoom lens available for Sony full frame E-mount cameras. Designed primarily for travel photography, Venus optics have managed to compress the size to smallest in its class, less than 10 inch (<10cm) and only 1.1 pounds (<500g). The 102° (18mm) to 130° (10mm) angle of view provides flexibility for photographers to compose landscape or architecture photos with ease. The lens houses with 14 elements in 10 groups with 2 aspherical elements & 1 extra-low dispersion element to deliver exceptional performance. It can focus as close as 15cm for some mini-macro shooting. A rear filter slot is included to fit with 37mm filter. Click/clickless aperture can be toggled by the switch on the lens barrel.

Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2 FE review at Admiringlight: “I love this lens”

Share

Admiringlight tested what has become my favorite lens since I bought it back in January, the Voigtländer 40mm f/1.2 FE:

I simply have to say: I love this lens. From the moment I looked at the first batch of photos from this lens, I was hooked. There’s something about the rendering that just speaks to me, and I found it to be nearly the perfect focal length for everyday use. The lens is sharp right from f/1.2, and is extremely sharp stopped down. Bokeh is generally very good, and color and contrast are excellent Portraits taken with the 40mm f/1.2 just pop, and it makes for a great landscape lens as well.

The $1,099 price might seem a bit steep for an all-manual lens, but the versatility and optical quality make it very much worth that price of entry. This is an outstanding effort from Voigtländer. Where’s my wallet?

Voigtlander really nailed it with all their FE lens range. Every lens has his unique and distinctive function you cannot get with other Sony or Zeiss lenses.
