From Laowa (summarized): 

> The 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 is currently the widest native zoom lens for full-frame mirrorless cameras, covering a 130° (10mm) to 102° (18mm) angle of view. Designed primarily for travel photography, it is the smallest in its class at under 9.1 cm long and 496 g. It focuses as close as 15 cm from the sensor, offers a click/clickless aperture switch for video, takes a 37mm rear filter (not compatible with the L-mount version) or a 100mm magnetic front filter system, and its 5-blade aperture is designed for well-defined 10-stroke sunstars.
