Q: 1. Hi, just got a Nikon Z mount of this lens, and notice that the body of Z mount is a little different from E-mount. Z mount has bigger mount shoulder, the holder ring of this holder, https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1537521-REG/h_y_filters_lh100_with_this_new_hy.html, cannot slide through the front. Any solution for this?

A: Unfortunately, as far as we were made aware, the H&Y Filters K-series Filter Holder for the 10-18mm is specific to the Sony E-mount version.

Q: 2. Is there noticeable barrel distortion at wider focal lengths?

A: The Venus Optics Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 Zoom Lens for Nikon Z is a very wide lens. And most lenses that wide and full frame will give you some barrel distortion at the wider end of the zoom.

Q: 3. Hey! Can you please tell me what ND filter I can buy for this lens?? I have a Sony a7s3

A: The Venus Optics Laowa 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 Zoom Lens for Sony E accepts 37mm filters via a rear filter mount and is also compatible with the optional Laowa Magnetic 100mm Filter Holder.
