Mounting the Lens
Attaching the filter
Remove the lens rear cap. Align the Lens mounting index(9) on the
lens with the one on the camera. Insert the lens into the camera and
turn clockwise until it clicks. Be gently to prevent damage to the lens
mount.
The lens accepts 37mm round rear filter. Limited to specific size and
thickness, please use the LAOWA 37mm Extra Slim Filter dedicated
for the 10-18mm zoom.
Gently rotate the lens to make sure that it is properly attached to the
camera.
Focusing
As it is a MF lens, please turn the Focus ring(2) slowly to get focus.
Be gently to prevent damage to the focusing mechanism.
Distance scale(3) and Depth-of-field scale are purely for instruction-
al purpose. Actual focus and DOF may slightly differ from the scale
indications.
To get precise focus, fix the camera position and then focus on the
subjects wide open. Get focus first and then set the desired aperture
by turning the aperture ring.
Using [Focus Peaking] makes it easier to get accurate focus. ( Note
that this function depends on camera models.)
Zoom
Focal lengths can be changed by turning the Zoom ring(4). It covers
the FF sensor from 10mm to 18mm, with 130°-102°diagonal
angle of view.
Detaching the Lens
Turn the camera off. Press the lens release button, turn the lens
anticlockwise and pull it out from the camera.
As a non-CPU lens, please set [Release shutter w/o lens] to [enable].
