Laowa 15mm f/5 Cookie FF

I was surprised how sharp this pancake lens is for being so small—the auto-aperture works flawlessly on my Sony E camera. It fits in my jacket pocket easily, which is a huge plus for travel.

For such a compact lens, the auto-aperture works flawlessly on my Nikon Z body. The 15mm focal length captures an incredible field of view without any noticeable distortion, making it perfect for architecture shots.

I was skeptical an ultra-wide could be this compact, but it slips right into my jacket pocket. The auto-aperture on my Nikon Z works flawlessly, and f/5 is plenty sharp for landscapes.
