Review: The new Laowa 10mm f/4 'Cookie' lens has some impressive optical performance, but its compact size is a double-edged sword.
the $299 Laowa 10mm f/4 “Cookie” lens, a super-compact prime for APS-C cameras that is practically small enough to fit in your pocket even when mounted on a camera.
I truly do appreciate the clever marketing done for the packaging of the lens as though it was an actual cookie, including “nutritional facts” like the max aperture, the number of blades, minimum focus distance, and “totally fun to use.” Regardless of anything else, Laowa gets a point for that alone.
Speaking of which, the aperture and focus rings are quite nicely designed and feature a ridged grip for both rings, giving users a tactile response. The aperture ring is “clickable” for accurate adjustments and to help hold the setting in place when adjusting focus. I get that this cookie lens is small so there’s not a lot of room to work with, but the aperture ring is actually kind of awkward to make adjustments to when shooting as it is placed practically at the edge of the camera body.
Overall, the lens is small, tough, and metallic with a smooth and attractive finish. The part that is frustrating for a lens that could be great for travel is the lack of any weather or dust sealing.
