Ultra-wide 10mm f/2.8 for Nikon Z
The Venus Optics Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D MF Lens is a manual-focus prime built for Nikon Z-mount cameras. Its 10mm focal length delivers a 130.4-degree angle of view on full-frame sensors. The bright f/2.8 maximum aperture supports low-light work including astrophotography. Weighing 420g (0.93 lb), it suits photographers who prioritise a light kit.
Thermals noise and power draw
As a purely mechanical manual-focus lens, it draws no power from the camera body and generates no electronic heat or motor noise during operation. The 14-blade aperture diaphragm operates silently when adjusted by hand. There are no internal focusing motors or electronic contacts to consume battery or produce audible artefacts.
Replaces heavier ultra-wide zooms
This prime replaces bulky ultra-wide zoom lenses when distortion control and low weight matter more than focal-length flexibility. The jump is worth it for landscape, architecture and astrophotography shooters who need rectilinear 10mm coverage at f/2.8 and can work with manual focus. It does not suit users who require autofocus or variable focal lengths.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D MF lens on my Nikon Z camera, and what step do people often miss?
Align the lens mount index with the camera's index, twist until it clicks, then set the camera to manual focus mode because this lens has no autofocus motor.
What maintenance or replacement will the Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D MF lens need later?
The 14 aperture blades and manual focus helicoid may need occasional cleaning or re-lubrication; no firmware updates or electronic parts require replacement.
What limit appears first when I use the Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D MF lens for long astrophotography sessions?
The f/2.8 maximum aperture and 130.4-degree field of view fix light gathering and distortion performance; manual focus precision at 12mm close focus becomes the practical bottleneck.
