Voigtländer Has Three New Insanely-Wide Full-Frame E-Mount Lenses: 10mm, 12mm, 15mm1 min read

Their newest full-frame 35mm Sony E-mount lenses, manufactured by Cosina in Japan (the same company that has made Zeiss still lenses forever), are some of the widest rectilinear (non-fisheye) lenses around, with the 10mm now being the widest in the world. This means that as much as possible, straight lines stay straight, and you don’t get the circular warped image that comes from using a fish-eye. The 12mm and 15mm lenses are already available for Leica M mount, and the 10mm will be added later for Leica cameras.

Not only are these incredibly wide, but they are also designed for filmmakers in mind, as they can be de-clicked just by turning a ring on the lens to have a smooth iris. All three have integrated lens hoods, but only the 15mm has a threaded filter ring. In addition, all three lenses communicate with the camera for manual focus assist and other lens data, and transmit info to help the 5-axis sensor stabilisation.
