Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Laowa FFII 15mm f/5 Cookie is a pancake-style full-frame ultra-wide with a 110° angle of view, manual focus, a 12 cm close focus and a $399 price. The figures here are for the Sony E version at 138 g, as Laowa publishes no L-Mount figures and its L-Mount version is manual-aperture. As of Oct 2026, one written review and four videos are linked. Phillip Reeve praises the tiny size and low weight, good sharpness once stopped down, CA correction and well-defined sunstars. He rates vignetting and distortion average (though the vignetting is not so tiny) and flare resistance not good, and notes a midzone dip that makes stopping down advisable. He still finds it appealing for anyone who rarely needs an ultra-wide.

From Laowa:
