Are you interested in a comparison of this lens against the SLR Magic 8mm and 7artisans 7.5mm?
YES!
YES!
Yes!
Yes!
Thanks for this great review, I've been looking for a decent priced super wide lens for a while for my BMPCC, as I find myself so drawn to wide shots but really dislike the look of fish eye unless for super specific purposes. I was contemplating ordering a Rokinon but wasn't thrilled with those reviews, but this totally sold me. And I appreciate your great shots! I especially love that low-light under the bridge one at 1:31.
Life saver. Literally was about to buy the F2 versión this weekend. Didn’t even know about this version.
Awesome! Honestly I didn’t know about it until a couple of weeks ago and I had been also considering the f2 version. As soon as I found out about it I pulled the trigger. SO FAST! Lol
Anson & Co. Literally what imma be doing! 😂 thanks a ton my man. Went ahead and gave you a follow on IG too. You’re a solid dude! 👊🏾 keep this content up
Thanks man! Glad to have you in the community and thanks for always being involved! Also enjoy the lens! 🙌🏼
they have literally nailed it with this lens for MFT! I'd buy it just for the peli case and the bag!
Nothing better than to be able to capture a different and more unusual perspective than what's expected. Love the quality this lens delivers. Great footage samples!
Thanks man! I won’t lie my personal goal was to redeem laowa’s character after our discussion about the 12mm lol Thanks for the motivation
Wow, cool! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I just sold the f/2.0 version because of the slight distortion and was going to get the 9mm--but I'm really glad to learn this one exists because the extra 1.5mm and 1 Stop was something I wasn't happy about losing! Great Video!
Thanks! I’m glad it helped 👍🏻
I have the photo version for 3 years now and it is one of my favourite lenses. The cine version was announced almost 2 years ago I think. Nice review!
Nice! Yeah I think it has been on pre order for a while and just started shipping this month. I’ve had my eye on the photo version for a while but I saw this one was shipping I had to jump on it.
Thanks for watching!✌🏻
Appreciate the advice, just got a bmpcc4k to do product videos and realty videography. I’m gonna have to save up but it seems worth the wait!
gorgeous footage you have got. love the look, getting chivo's look , likes of revenant, tree of life etc.
I bought the f2.0 version of this lens in the Spring and the first thing I bought was a 46 to 67mm step up ring. The main reason being that this step up ring is considerably thinner than a 46mm ND filer or a 46mm Polariser (the edges of which could potentially be visible). So the step up ring avoids any possibility of vignetting as the offending (thick) rim of the 67mm filter is completely outside of the lens’ field of view!
Colin - the camera guy - Ludlow I also have it step up to 67! But like a dummy I had a matte box on it too and realized that I need to shed some layers in front of the lens and so that is a lesson learned lol
Thanks for the review. A technical question that is on my mind and I don't seem to find an answer anywhere is whether the aperture ring is stepped or continuous on this version?
Hey man - what would be your suggestion in my situation? I had been looking into the Laowa 7.5mm even before they came out with the cine version. It was pretty hard to find a used copy back then and I'm trying to keep budget in mind but luckily since the cine ones came out, the original is popping up used pretty frequently. Do you think the cost of a new cine version is worth it over a used original?
I'm filming recording sessions and guitar product reviews on the GH5 and G85. Thanks!
Hey man! Honestly if you don’t need to adjust exposure mid shot or aren’t using a follow focus the photo version will do just fine. I picked up the cine because I use a follow focus on my rig and so it fit my needs. But the optics are going to be the same.
Do you experience any wiggle with this lens on the BMPCC4k? I bought a P4k, and this lens specifically because of this awesome review. I love the quality of the image, but my lens has some wiggle when moving the focus ring and the aperture ring. I can hear a clicking noise when adjusting the rings back and forth. I understand from some reading that MFT mounts are designed to have a bit of wiggle room in order to accommodate for a variety of lenses and different manufactures. But is what's happening with mine normal and will it affect my footage negatively? It's kind of annoying.
Thanks.
I'm considering the 7.5 and 9mm and don't see much info online. What do think abt the two? With the 2mm difference
Would be interesting to see a video some footage with the original BMPCC also and your thoughts about the combo. Have the Pan Leica 8-18mm and considering this to replace it since I shoot mainly at 8mm and the extra stop would be nice to have.
I have tried it out a little and I will say I love the combo. But I am totally down to make a video on it
If I want a cine and photo lens, it's better the 7,5mm f2?
Could you compare this to the SLR Magic 8mm f4 with gh5 footage? Always great reviews!
Good call! And I actually do own that lens so thanks for the video idea! I am also reviewing the 7artisans fisheye and so I may throw that in as well.
Hi! I like your videos.Which one do you think is better, this one or the 9mm version? I’m thinking about to buy one of these for my Bmpcc 4K. Thank you!
It all depends on how wide you like your shots but both are going to be good! I think the 9mm is a zero distortion lens too!
Also thanks! And thanks for watching ✌🏻
What ND filter do you recommend for this lens?
I am thinking about it for stills (and maybe some video). But paying a little extra for the Cine version is worth it to me. The Pelican case is great and why not? Tripods and lights come with carrying cases. And lenses coming with cases is better than cardboard boxes. The little case would easily fit my other tiny lenses and maybe an adapter as well.
as it's tiny, I am not sure if it's tiny enough for me. I am not waiting for the teased 6mm lens to come onto the market. It should be a good bit wider, but I hope it doesn't have drawbacks in quality like the 10mm.
Thanks for the video man! I wonder if you used it for stills as well? Looking for a super wide for the GH5..
It would definitely work for stills. But honestly I would save some money and go with the photo version. It’s a manual lens but the photo version won’t have the gears and the aperture will he clicked. But same optics for the most part.
I appreciate your suggestion bro! That could save me a $100.. But in your opinion.. Which one of them would better in a hybrid aspect (photo&video)?
Thanks again.. Subscribed 😄
Honestly possibly the photo version. I think you should really only get the cine version of you are using a rig. If not the photo version might be the better option. If you are hand focusing everything the gears may get uncomfortable over time.
Great vid bro. Getting my 9mm tomorrow. Can’t wait to play with it
Nice! Is the updating cine version as well?
Anson & Co. yup, 👍🏼
Endure Films NICE! Let me know what you think.
Thanks for this - could you also use this for stills? say on a GH5?
The focusing throw is a little longer than the photo version but other than that absolutely
Do you get any vignetting with this lens, I've read you will get some vignettingl with the non cine version Laowa 7.5mm f2. Thanks for sharing the video.
Dang. I'm about to sell mine for this pretty sweet. The image out of this lens is really good. Honestly it is VERY close to.IQ of the leica 12mm
Found this from the Reddit link you posted. Great review; new subscriber here. You mentioned this was the Cine version on Reddit. As a relatively new GH5 user and new filmmaker; what determines the cine nature of a lens? I noticed you did some low-light footage. How did it perform?
Hey man! Thanks for the sub and welcome! What makes this a cine version is primarily the fact that it has gears for a focus pulling system, the aperture ring is declicked so that you can exchange exposure in the middle of a shot. And often times the focus throw on the focus ring is longer, I don’t know if it’s actually longer than the photo version but that is sometimes what changes too. The other thing that laowa has focused on is having this lens match in size to some of their other cine lenses so that if you do have a focus system on you don’t have to adjust it when changing lenses.
As far as low light... it handled it REALLY well. I actually had an ND filter on for MOST of the footage and it still got in enough light. Now that is partly due to my black magic, but I think if you take off the ND filter it will he just fine on the GH5 🙂
I hope that helps! And thanks again for watching and subscribing!✌🏻
@@Ansonandco Awesome, thanks so much for the reply.
No problem! Glad I could help👍🏻
Maybe I missed it...but what’s the T2.1...is it similar to the f-stop? I see someone was saying they were considering the f version.
It looks great! Would love to see some daytime shots too! Great job as always!!
It’s just a different way to measure the amount of light hitting the sensor. It is a little more accurate. But for this lens the bigger difference is the housing. You get declicked aperture and gears on the focus and aperture ring.
Thanks man! You will definitely see more from this lens! As always thanks for watching!
T stands for light that actualy hits sensor while F measures light hitting front glass element
Ok so if you want to shoot video and photos which is best compromise, this lens or the laowa 7.5 f2.8?
I mean it’s the same lens. Just different housing but if you are PRIMARILY doing photos i would go with the 2.8
@@Ansonandco Ta!
Sweet lens bro 👌
Thanks dude!
What's the difference in between this version and the cine version?
Geared and declicked aperture
Do they have a apc version
Not directly of this lens but they do make similar lens for APSC. I think they make a 9 and 11mm lens and so that would be the closest to this one
What is better? Laowa 7.5mm native mount for your wide angle shots on your Bmpcc4k? Or favorite wide angle lens 16mm & under on a Metabones MFT 0.71x ? & why?
Well 16 even with a speedbooster would still be a 22mm equivalent, while the 7.5 is a 15mm... so completely different focal lengths. So if you want wide go with the 7.5
@@Ansonandco Oh.. so what would be a metabones + lense equivalent? & in that case would it be a better choice?
I think if you are trying to go wide I would avoid speedboosters. Keep in mind speedboosters are going to introduce more glass between your lens and camera. So I would go with the laowa
@@Ansonandco thq so much. that answers my question. :D
nice!
Thanks!
Does anyone here know a cheap wide angle lens for MFT? I have been looking around and I can't see to find one? I don't care if it is fish eye or not.
SLR magic 8mm f4
i got a g95 im getting this lens in 2days
Nice! Congrats!
what is the difference between f2 and T2.1?
Very similar but with cinema light is measures slightly different to be more accurate. But it should be relatively equal
@@Ansonandco thnx)
Who is that masked man? Good job, son. I love you- mom
Just some stranger hahaha love you too mom!
Is there a crop factor with this lens or is that actually 7mm?
The crop factor would be on the camera and since you can only use this one on MFT it would be roughly a 2x crop factor so it is more like a 15mm field of view.
True infinity???? That's what I dislike the most on the previous version. I just want to spin it to infinity until the barrel stops and start shooting.
So I didn’t test HOW true the infinity focus is. But I don’t think a ton of optics were updated. I’m pretty it was just rehoused.
I think it is not ideal to put a post vignetting on a lens test video.
Trust no post vignetting... it was the fact I had too much in front of the lens (step up ring, ND, and matte box)
Just to note, I gave this a thumb up even though I was really dismayed about how much attention was paid to the guy with the mask...what up with that! I'm so sick of mask culture I want to move to...oh wait, almost everywhere people wear the stupid things. In my county they are NOT mandatory. Ok, not moving then.
i have this lens for 400 if anyone is interested
I'm interested. email me.
