Laowa 15mm f/5 Cookie FF (Auto Aperture - Black) – Ultra-compact 15mm pancake for Nikon Z

The Laowa 15mm f/5 Cookie FF is an ultra-compact, pancake-style lens designed for full-frame mirrorless systems. It delivers an ultra-wide 15mm perspective while remaining highly portable. This Nikon Z version features the same compact dimensions and optical design as other mounts, and it supports auto-aperture where applicable.

Compact design that stays with you

Measuring only 25mm in length and weighing approximately 130 grams, the Cookie FF fits easily into small bags and travel kits. As a result, you can carry it for long shoots or street work without adding noticeable bulk. Moreover, its pancake form makes the camera profile discreet, which helps when you want to be unobtrusive.

Ultra-wide angle for expansive compositions

With a 15mm focal length and a 110° angle of view, this lens captures dramatic, immersive scenes. Use it for landscapes, architecture, interiors, and creative street photography where a wide field of view enhances your composition. The fixed f/5 aperture provides consistent image characteristics and a practical depth of field for everyday shooting.

Optical performance and image quality

Optically, the lens uses precision glass elements, including aspherical components, to reduce distortion and chromatic aberration. Consequently, you get sharp images with good edge-to-edge clarity and controlled color fringing despite the lens’ minimal size. These design choices focus on delivering reliable image quality for wide-angle applications.
