Laowa 10mm f/4 Cookie (Silver) - Nikon Z — Ultra-compact 25mm pancake with 109.3° ultra-wide view

The Laowa 10mm f/4 Cookie for Nikon Z is an ultra-compact, pancake-style ultra-wide lens built for photographers and content creators who prioritise portability without sacrificing optical performance. It offers a 10mm focal length and a 109.3° angle of view, enabling expansive compositions in a single frame. The lens combines a fixed f/4 aperture with a very small physical footprint to make wide-angle shooting convenient on the go.

Compact design and handling

Remarkably lightweight and slim, the lens measures just 25mm in length and weighs only 130 grams. This compact form factor fits easily in compact camera bags or pockets, making it practical for travel, street photography, and everyday carry. Because it uses a pancake-style design, you can mount it and keep your setup lightweight for longer shooting sessions.

Optical performance

The Laowa 10mm f/4 Cookie uses advanced glass elements engineered to minimise distortion and chromatic aberration. As a result, it delivers sharp, vibrant images with excellent edge-to-edge clarity. The fixed f/4 aperture provides consistent brightness across the frame, supports predictable depth-of-field control, and contributes to smooth background rendering when appropriate.

Who this lens is for

Use this lens when you need a true ultra-wide perspective in a highly portable package. It suits travel and landscape photographers who want dramatic scenes without bulky gear. It also fits street and architectural shooting where a wide field of view and low weight help you move quickly and capture large subjects or interiors in tight spaces.
