Extremely compact and lightweight
With a weight of just 130g and measuring Ø59.8 x 25mm, the Laowa 10mm f/4 Pancake Lens in Black is easy to handhold and bring along for all-day shooting. It includes an equally compact 37mm filter thread, enabling you to add lens filters such as circular polarisers, UV filters and more.
Ultra low distortion results
The Laowa 10mm f/4 Pancake Lens (black) renders 109.3° angle of view, making it the world’s widest rectilinear pancake lens at launch. This allows you to capture horizontal and vertical straight lines in buildings, streets and any other subjects with straight lines, where minimal distortion and realistic results are rendered.
High optical performance
Whichever subjects you shoot with the Laowa 10mm f/4 Pancake Lens Black you’ll benefit from impressive image quality for a pancake lens, with good flare and ghost control when shooting backlit subjects. When the lens is stopped down to f/8 sharpness is extremely high, which is ideal for subjects for which this ultra wide angle lens is intended.
10-Point sunstars
Laowa’s unique design includes an aperture diaphragm with 5 aperture blades, which creates impressive sunstars with 10 points to enhance your images.
Extremely close minimum focus distance
Create dynamic compositions with an extremely close 10cm minimum focus distance and 0.15x maximum magnification. This extends the versatility of the 10mm pancake for macro-style close-up images and creating subject separation from the background.

Our Verdict
Laowa is branching out from their typical lens designs with the 10mm f/4 Pancake Lens in Black for Fujifilm X mount. Whilst it does focus extremely closely to just 10cm it is not a macro lens, but rather an ultra wide angle prime which is perfect for landscape, travel and urban photography. It arrives as the worlds widest rectilinear pancake lens, which means you’ll be able to capture straight lines with extremely low distortion when capturing anything with a straight edge, such as buildings or trees.
The lens resolves sharp details, particularly when stopped down from the widest f/4 aperture and features an advanced optical design with special lens elements to render high quality images. Ghosting and flare are well controlled and a unique aperture opening shows 10-point sunstars when shooting directly at light sources. This enables you to capture nice effects for any images shot with the sun, moon, stars or any artificial light source.
As a pancake lens it is naturally compact and Laowa has reduced the weight of this tiny model to just 130g. This allows you to pack the lens and bring it on any shoot barely noticing the extra weight. It’s the combination of portability, versatility and excellent results which is sure to make this a hit with Fujifilm photographers.
