Optical design comprises 12 elements in 8 groups, closest focusing distance 0.1 m and maximum magnification 0.15×. Compact black aluminium body with 37 mm filter thread and 5.98 cm diameter. Suited for landscapes, architecture and creative close-range wide-angle shots.

## Long description

The Laowa 10mm f/4.0 Cookie for Nikon Z is an ultra-wide-angle prime lens designed for APS-C mirrorless cameras. Its compact pancake-style aluminium body measures approximately 25 mm in length and weighs just 130 g, offering an exceptionally wide rectilinear 109.3° angle of view on APS-C bodies (≈15mm full-frame equivalent). The optical construction of 12 elements in 8 groups, including ED elements, aims to deliver high contrast, controlled chromatic aberration and reduced flare while maintaining super-low distortion. A 0.1 m minimum focusing distance and a maximum magnification of 0.15× let you shoot close-range wide-angle images, and a 37 mm filter thread accepts screw-in filters directly.
Advantages
The lens combines a very small form factor and low weight with a sophisticated optical formula to provide reliable image quality for everyday and travel shooting. Its rectilinear ultra-wide perspective captures expansive scenes while keeping straight lines largely undistorted, which is useful for architecture and interiors. Fast close-focus capability allows creative close-range compositions and a noticeable subject-background separation for an ultra-wide design. The built-in 37 mm filter thread simplifies the use of filters without extra holders, and a five-blade aperture produces a clear 10-point sunstar when stopping down.
Suitable for
Landscape photography where an ultra-wide field of view is required
Architectural and interior shots with minimized distortion
Street and travel photography for a compact, lightweight setup
Close-range wide-angle creative shots and environmental portraits
Gimbal or FPV use where low weight and short length are essential

How to use
Attach the lens to a Nikon Z mount APS-C mirrorless camera and ensure electronic contacts are clean and aligned for proper communication. Use the viewfinder or live view to compose ultra-wide scenes; the lens performs well when capturing expansive landscapes, architecture and dynamic street scenes. For close-range wide-angle shots, move physically closer to the subject to take advantage of the 0.1 m minimum focus distance — careful composition is important to avoid unwanted distortion of faces or objects at very close range. Use the camera aperture control to stop down for greater depth of field or to create a defined sunstar effect from bright point light sources.
Usage recommendations
For best results, combine the Laowa 10mm f/4.0 Cookie with a stable shooting stance or a compact tripod for architectural work; when shooting handheld, keep shutter speeds high enough to avoid motion blur due to the wide field of view. Use quality 37 mm screw-in filters for polarizing or neutral density effects, and consider stopping down one to two stops for maximum sharpness across the frame. Avoid placing subjects extremely close to the edges of the frame to minimize perspective stretching.
