How straight those edge lines are is pretty amazing. Thanks for the review!
Very nice shots around Melbourne! Thanks for a great quality video / review of this lens.
I have the Voigtlander 10mm f/5.6. Basically equivalent, though the 1mm wider will be discernible. I second everything he said. It is so sharp I use it as a travel lens. Tiny, and super sharp, so I will crop it to give different looks. One advantage: it has depth of field scales which is super useful. Inches to infinity around f/8.
My current 5 x 6 ft micro office setup would love a 9mm lens to replace that 24-70 that I currently rock for zoom calls... the space savings alone from a shorter lens profile makes me do a happy dance inside. 📷
I’ve been following your channel for only a couple of weeks and I have to commend you for the content! Straight to the point, no nonsense and unbiased. Well done 👍🏻 Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Totally agree.
It’s so cool seeing melb locations in your vids. Great video ❤
Thanks Mark. Which would you recommend this lens or the LAOWA 9mm?
I have a 10-22 canon lens, and love it ... I know that feel..
Thank you for your one of a kind content and really interesting deep dives into amazing aspects of photography. I am wondering since you did a video on the Venus Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL how do these two compare compare other than the cost?
I've used one of these for a Canon M50 for several years now. Not only for a nice wide lens, but also to beat the 4k crop inherent in the M50
Thanks for the review. I enjoyed it.
It would have been nice if the review would have stated the FOV. I had to look this up. For FF the diagonal FOV in degrees is:
This lens :132
Sigma 12-24 : 122 - 84
Tamron 14mm 2.8 : 113
I really like the Sigma 12-24 as it is the perfect FF lens for taking photos out of the windows of airplanes while in the air. For APS-C I would look for an 8-16.
I wish lens makers would make lenses like these for Pentax mount or design the lenses so the mount is the only thing that has to change. This would make the lens itself longer for cameras with shorter flange distance but it would open up these lenses to be used on more platforms.
The Laowa has a FOV of 135 degrees.
Great content Mark!
For those of us who shoot Fuji X (APS-C), I'd be really curious how this 9mm F5.6 compares with Fuji's XF8mm F3.5 R WR in terms of image quality. Fuji's weather-resistant and AF of course and can take 62mm filters. It's also twice the price, retail, new.
I don't see that it has a Fuji mount though
The Laowa lens doesn't come in Canon RF mount so this is interesting. It's also the same price. Of course Canon just released a 10-20mm L series zoom for a much higher price.
❤Melbourne shots! ... and St Paul's really sold me on the 9mm
I have the Laowa 7.5mm for micro four third’s (15mm equivalent) and there’s one more use case that I find for it. More and more these days I find that walk about street photography where people will be in the shot can attract hostility from people who don’t want to be in the shot and just the possibility of that sort of confrontation is creatively distracting. But with an ultra wide like the Laowa, I can compose in a way that mostly avoids this because people don’t realize that they’re going to be in the shot because the camera is not pointed in their direction. To them, I looking at something to their left or right side. The results are a bit different because you’re composing for the edges (I think of the as one-shot diptychs), but different can be good right?
I like mine too. Manual focus is super easy with the large DOF
fish eye though...
@@lostinspacestudio No. It’s rectilinear and produces images with very little (and easily correctable) distortion. Most of the time I don’t even bother correcting the distortion. It’s the unbelievable width that poses the compositional challenge if anything.
The 10mm from Laowa is far better since you can use a UV to protect the front element as well as a ND filter which is necessary when shooting outdoors ultrawide in daylight.
I have taken time to consider if this lens is for me.The square space image gallery is more like photoshop pro and ai implants. The way I see it is photography is less of a capture but more of a tracing image. I ll fix it when I get home. How does that fit into your vlog? Well lots of people will have seen comics not many will as a child remember the comic being delivered by a letter box. The 7 artisan lens offers the delivery of a comic book change of photographic perspective. The way we view the image we are trying to craft. Images don’t have to be perfect they have only to grab your attention. The reason why I will purchase it because it allows me to change my style of creative image. I can go back to cartoons type images and have an adventure. Cheers for your work in line
I have a Brightning Star 9 mm.
Same lens but there is a rear filter thread for NDs. Very good too.
Yes, same optics, I need to make a video on that one.
Instead of throwing the other video up "on the video" (which doesn't always work, such as at the moment), you really just link to it in the description, because that works 100%.
I would recommend the Nikkor 8-15…as close to perfect in every respect.
If I’m shooting aps c what do you recommend 😅
Does Lightroom have the lens profile correction for this lens
This is excellent
I already had a used Sony A7ii picked out as my next camera, but hadn’t looked at lenses much yet. I thought I would need a major investment for my first lens. But this wide angle is just what I want. And a great price too! Thanks for the video.
You haven't bought a house in a long time. I went to one recently that looked like it had a giant front yard. Ended up from road to porch was about 12 steps. They all do this :)
Couldn't tell why you recommend this lens over the Laowa lens, based on your comments.
Your recommendations are amazing and when I heard about this when I jumped at it, ordered it yesterday and anxiously waiting for it to arrive it sounds insane
Awesome! Enjoy the creative challenge!
Would you recommend this foryoutube talking head videos over say something like a Sigma 16mm f1.4? Or is it mostly for artistic photography and video choices?? Thanks so much!!
No, this far too wide for that, other than an occasional mind bending artistic segment. The sigma 16 is a much better choice.
Thanks for the review.
My widest full-frame lens is a 14mm f/2.8 Nikkor that I use on my Nikon SLR, Nikon dSLR, and Leica rangefinders. Thus far, I have no need for anything wider. However, if the 9mm were faster than f/5.6 and came in a Nikon F mount or a Leica M mount, I would be interested.
My fisheye is something of a joke by comparison. I might have to upgrade! Thank you for the detailed review!
Filmmakers who loves anime might like this lens too! Some iconic shots might be brougt to life.
Hi Mark,
I like the way you present your reviews and as you have reviewed a couple of the UWA lenses, I have a question for you, seeking your thoughts.
I’m currently shooting with an X-T3 body and have an interest in shooting pano’s, so I have a question. Current wide lens is the 14 2.8 and for wider frame the 10-24 XF zoom. As I’ll be shooting at 16x9 format, what would your thoughts be on trying one of the 9mm Ultra Wides available, the Fuji 8mm is out of my reach.
Geoff Howard
10-24 is going to give you more versatility. Then you have a 14mm f2.8 for when you need the 2.8 over the f4 of the 10-24.
Many thanks for your response Mark@@markwiemels
Oooh, cheaper AND they have an RF mount version. Maybe I'm not so disappointed that I didn't get the Laowa in Leica M mount and an adapter...
I love these lenses, but real estate with any ultra wide, even 16mm, is borderline a scam. I live in a tiny apartment, with very small rooms and a small hallway. If I photograph my rooms with a ultra wide, I can make the rooms and hallway look huge, and overall, the apartment will look much, much, much more roomy than it actually is.
IDK. I like buying lenses and I'm a big fan of wide angle, but I'm finding 16mm wide enough in almost all cases, even in cathedrals.
Cathedrals are large though.. what if you’re trying to photograph a small room
thanks dr house
This guy’s crazy!
Just my 2 cents on an aspect of this that was overlooked or not really talked about. While these rectilinear lenses preserve the linear lines they almost always destroy the human figure at the edges that slight barrel distortion, for some reasons, seems to soften a little more. I think the correct lens is more subjective to what one is trying to do with it. If the goal is boxy architecture then rectilinear are by far the best option, but if one is looking for story telling lens then the option becomes more subjective, and based more off what creates the look and feel one is after for a given narrative. The important thing is this look was not really an option before, where as now we have it, and thus have more choices.
And I was all excited for the possibility of a new, less costly lens…
Nope, they skipped right on past the F mount. I’ll stick with my NIKKOR 8-15mm f/3.5-4.5
Very expensive for a quite a niche, manual lens in my opinion.
I am rectum-linear. But I'm doing lunges at the gym now.
❤❤❤
Oh, and it's working! You look great. ;-)
Good to hear you’re taking care of yourself
I love my cine camera but it's EF mount isolates it from the lenses I want to buy, like this lens. This lens comes in mounts that can't be adapted to EF
No, won’t work on EF, no adapter.
Recently aquired a Sigma Art 20mm and I thought THAT was wide... apparently not!
Done azin dead or Daniel 😂😂 anyway always proud of your work and your the best i this bizzzzz
How to put in a Pentax K-mount ? Adaptor ?
You can only adapt a lens to a mount with a smaller flange distance than the mount on the lens so that there is physical room for the adapter. The greatest flange distance of the mounts that this lens is available for are L-mount or RF mount at 20mm. K-mount is 45.46mm flange distance.
SLR mounts have a greater flange distance than mirrorless mounts to allow for the mirror. Mirrorless mounts use a smaller flange distance to keep the size of the system smaller. This means that you cannot adapt a mirrorless lens to an SLR, but you can adapt an SLR mount lens to a mirrorless mount.
The consequence of all this is that you cannot adapt this lens for use on any SLR.
I have a 1mm lense. I can almost see behind me when i take a picture
I have a 0,5 mm rectilinear lens and I can see myself from the front shooting
No, I use ultra-wide angle lens all the time because I use 4K camera and I crop in 1080p so I can stick myself on the left and right of the screen. I switched to Mokose C100 13MP 4K30 HDMI camera ($142.50 on eBay right now) with GoPro-style sensor and I use a 2.1mm no distortion M12 lens I got for $30 on eBay from China and I couldn't be happier. I own 8 of them and am getting 6 more, and I did not break the bank. I recommend you buy the 3.2mm lens model. I bought the C100 with the zoom lens used on eBay, sold the lens, removed the IR cut filter (easy but can break PCB), bought 3.2mm no distortion lens, and sold the 3.2mm lens on eBay; not worth it, get the 3.2mm model, but I didn't know when I bought. You want to unscrew the 3.2mm lens, remove the lens and metal focus ring, and replace with 2.1mm lens keeping spring under it, and it works very good and maintains focus.
hmmmm prefer my 12mm f2 samyang.. no tripod needed and wide enough for good interior shots.. even on my 1.5 crop sensor
3:51 all the real estate brokers immediately write to their photographers demanding this lens on the rest of their listing shoots.
The thing about wide angle lenses is - if everything is important, nothing is important.
Yes, that is the challenge for sure.
it’s actually the same lens they just rebranded it
lol. Love it.
Rectum linear
😂😂😂😂
If ppl just take off their watch I'm sure it will also work rectum linear for most use cases.
Rectal-linear lol! No way
Who wants to be done on his wonderful never ending search?
Can I use it on 5D Mark II with adapter?
No, mirrorless only.
Shame, but thanks for the answer.@@markwiemels
You can get a Samyang 10mm f/3.5. I hate its green vignetting though. Personally I still prefer the 9mm f/5.6, it's so much lighter.
Yeah, okay.
I actually only was interested in this particular lens.
I don't have the money, anyways.
And I desperately need a new laptop.@@shang-hsienyang1284
I don’t think so. You can’t even put a nd filter on it.
I would rather save up for the Canon RF 10-20
That’s A LOT of saving up. I’m sure it will be a great lens.
Are you shooting with it for the video? lol.... or are you Yao Ming's cousin? You look about 8'6" tall. lol.
What are these ‘lenses’? Chocolate?
Whatta title! 😂
I use a Cannon 10-18
I can't stand how 7Artisans completely cuts out everyone using a Techart Manual lens autofocus adapter by not producing this in a mount that can be adapted for AF. I don't waste my time and money on manual lenses that cannot be adapted to the Leica M mount.
That's understandable. Just know that lenses with very short focal lengths and narrow maximum apertures have such a large depth of field that it won't likely be an issue in most situations.
@@bodinian That's true, but this allows for considerably better accuracy. I see it in the shots. Additionally, I like that these adapters are essentially extension tubes and I can always get a substantially closer minimum focus distance. But lastly, the AF works in video mode. It's a deal-breaker that the 7Artisans lens cannot have that functionality with whatever sized depth-of-field.
Look up "Bury the Lead" and why you shouldn't do it. It's not building tension, it's annoying the audience. You have good content; you don't need to do this.
Me: *Puts this lens on a camera*
Also me: *Disappears into the eather*.
Great review again, Mark!
Lens is not important - important is fotografer and his art skills. This fotos are good for catalog bathrooms.
I disagree! The lens is definitely important. They are tools just like anything else they make a photographers job easier and more fun
@@_Alexmojica You not understand what I want to say. So again, if you buy top objective ad top camera, it not mean you becoming top fotografer.
Done of what?
The lens that ended all lenses for him in last week's video about the lens that ended all lenses.
Ok to be fair, I watched a bit longer, and he is saying, if you have all the other focal lengths, then this one is a bookend that might complete a collection. It's still a sales pitch, but I am just detuned to the whole "this lens is the best lens that ever existed ever" sales pitches that never end.
But I can kinda context this one into "hey, if you got all the other focal lengths, add this one and be "done" with the full range of lengths" I guess, maybe, kinda?
@@HistoricMetalsThat’s the same way I understood it.
I too tend to just tune out sales pitches on TH-cam.
Frankly the video taken with the lens doesn't look good at all. Too much distortion over too big an area
:) if it will get me a picture of a small bird at 100 metres, i will be done! misleading title Mark.
😂😂😂😂😂
I wan itt!!! I wann me flat to look HUGE!
lol!
Great video 👍
