Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Laowa FF 10mm T2.9 Cine is a manual-focus full-frame and VistaVision ultra-wide cine prime with a 130.3-degree field of view and a 12 cm close focus. It is the cine version of the Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D FF and costs $1,699; the figures here are for the Sony E version at 516 g. As of Oct 2026, one written review and three videos are linked. Videomaker found little to no distortion apart from the extreme edges and no colour fringing, and enjoyed the close focusing on plants, but noted that the lack of autofocus left moving bees slightly blurry and called it not an all-around lens. Cameras & Colours calls the Zero-D cine lenses the best ultra-wides its reviewer has used, Jadon Lem’s title calls it the widest cine lens, and Deon van Zyl compares it with the 12mm.
