Laowa 15mm f/5 Cookie FF (Auto Aperture - Silver) - Sony FE

Laowa 15mm f/5 Cookie FF – Ultra-compact 15mm pancake with 110° wide-angle

The Laowa 15mm f/5 Cookie FF is a pancake-style, ultra-compact lens designed for full-frame mirrorless cameras. It gives a very wide 110° field of view while remaining highly portable. Photographers who need expansive perspectives without bulky gear will find this lens especially useful for landscapes, architecture, interiors and creative street photography.

Compact design and handling

Measuring only 25mm in length and weighing approximately 130 grams, the Cookie FF stays unobtrusive on a camera. Its pancake-style construction keeps the setup slim and easy to carry, so you can travel light and work discreetly. Additionally, the fixed f/5 aperture provides consistent exposure behavior and a predictable depth of field for everyday shooting.

Optical design and image characteristics

The optical design uses precision glass elements, including aspherical lenses, to reduce common wide-angle issues. Consequently, the lens minimizes distortion, chromatic aberration and color fringing. This design helps deliver sharp images with reliable edge-to-edge clarity and faithful color reproduction despite the lens’s small form factor.
