thank you paul and thank you for making great videos
Great video! I think you did a good job dividing the video in "chapters".
me too
I got this lens too, and looking at tons of reviews, I think this is the best ultra wide angle lens for the m32 system. All the other lens have 'compromises'. The compromises you make on this lens can be benefits in many applications, where the others are just compromises.
This lens and camera combination is perfect. It’s so tiny it could probably fit in your pocket
Fantastic review, thanks. You cover everything we need to know quickly and concisely. Did you ever find out whether the filter vignetting can be avoided by using a step-up ring and larger filter?
I completely forgot about it since my photography is a bit on a standby lately (see my channel update video from a few days ago). I will have to buy step up ring and try.
"I must have it" - that well known quote :-) Brilliant! I always enjoy your vids.
Nice review. As a photographer that shoots a lot of commercial architecture, I'd like to try this as I'd been hoping Panasonic or Olympus would do a sharp wide angle prime.
I'm always trying to avoid flare but use it stylistically sometimes. The flare here actually looks stylish and like the 'real' flare of the mechanical lenses of yesteryear.
Manual focus is fine for me and picking up manual lenses can be so refreshing when they just do what you want when you turn the dials and don't get 'digital arguments'.
I think you will really enjoy Laowa for architectural photography (both outside and interiors.)
You won't regret buying it - it really is a good lens.
Nice review as always. Can you review the grip on your gx80?
Yes, I planned to make that video tomorrow (if nothing gets in the way)!
excellent
Hi. Could you make a video on how to check the lens when it arrives? I just received it and would like to know that it works correctly. Especially decentering and the focus to infinity. It is so expensive that it would be terrible if I have a faulty copy. Please.
Hi Paul, is there CA on the lens, & how about the distortion, thank n great videos. Please answer
Hi ! Can anyone help me with some advice ? I am currently shooting some POV videos with my iPhone 11 Pro ultra wide angle lens which I understand is a 13 mm lens. My question is, if I get a full frame mirrorless, which lens should I get in order to replicate the image from the iPhone ( but better quality ) ? One important thing to consider is that I would like everything in frame to be in focus ( no bokeh ) and very good low light performance . Thank you !
So did the filter adapter ring work??? I can't see it "in the comments".
Could you link the photos and did you use a Panasonic Gx85?
Camerahoarders, I also have this lens and like it so much, but I miss the 1:1 magnification of the laowa 15mm f4 for getting wide angle macro possibilities... I was thinking to buy the metabones XL 0.64 speedbooster and use it with the laowa 15mm f4, but I'm not sure if it will give me the real 1:1 wide angle macro experience on my panasonic g9... I would like to know your opinion on this 😌
Thank for your reviewing. I like your handle grip on your GX80. Where can I find it?
Thanks! Grip: th-cam.com/video/YLEKG3I6vkQ/w-d-xo.html
How to focus using Laowa lens?
Camerahoarders, did you complete a video on that grip? I could not find one by scanning topics in your video library. What brand of grip is that?
Yes, it is online since July: th-cam.com/video/YLEKG3I6vkQ/w-d-xo.html
@@Camerahoarders Thank you.
6:48 guineea piiiiiiiig !!!! finaly !!! great lens indeed, but i'll stick to my sigma 8-16 + Metabones Ultra.
do you have thoughts vs 8mm on the Leica 8-18mm ? Great review btw
Thanks! I haven't used 8-18 but it gets a lot of positive opinions from people who bought one.
Could you please let me know where you got that extra grip for gx80? Thanks
Here's all the info: th-cam.com/video/YLEKG3I6vkQ/w-d-xo.html
Would love to buy this lens, it’s just too expensive
Step ring fix the issue with vignetting?
Matt B another review shows yes. That reviewer stepped up quite a bit, so not sure the minimum size to accomplish this but definitely works.
