Who owns this lens already?
And who’s going to finally pick one up?
just purchased cant wait to put it on mu g85!
I have it... unfortenely Im not using it as Often as i should...but i simply love it
I think I film with mine more than any other lens lol 🤦♂️
@@RICH_Photography 😄
I bought one about a year ago! I love it when I use it! On another note, I have a question! What profile do you use on your GH5/GH5s? Have you or are you going to do a color grading video? I absolutely love your video quality and I would love to know how you do it!
One heck of a superb review. VERY convincing, great info, well illustrated and superb photography! Subbed!👍👍
Best review of this lense i ever seen. Great job !
Thank you so much, really appreciate it! Definitely spent some time trying to find any flaws and why it’s so good.
Great video, Thanks 👍
I had a few nagging doubts about this lens after watching a few other video reviews, complicated by the fact Laowa also makes a 9mm and 10mm, but you squelched them all. Easily the most informative and useful content on the subject yet-subscribed. Thank you.
Awesome video man. Saw your post on the FB group. Glad o watched it
Thank you so much, put a ton of effort into this to cover the finer things that wide lens suffer from.
So glad you enjoyed it 👌 will definitely keep these reviews coming.
This is so educational, thanks!
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it, really is an amazing lens!
Really helpful review - thanks!
You're welcome 🙌
Nice! I’m def buying this lens! The footage at the end was insane. I b like the shots of the biker a lot! That dolly zoom at 10:19 was sick! I like how you snuck it in. It was VERY shuttle, but noticeable!
Thank you so much for the kind words, so glad you enjoyed it! Truly my go to lens, if I had to film a job and could only take one lens, I’d probably take this one as I know it could be made unique and just look super epic. Definitely a must have for any m4/3 user.
great review thank you!
You're welcome 🙂
You are doing a very good job of selling me this lens. Great review. Subscribed.
Excellent review! I want one now. I love the size since I like the smaller M43 cameras.
Thank you! Absolutely, the size on this compared to full frame is mind blowing. Absolutely love my Laowa 7.5 👌
Awesome video! Interesting, informative, and now I want it 😱
Thank you, this is what happens when you spend a few years testing before making a review lol
@@RICH_Photography makes a big difference, not like the have a weekend to play and then review 🙈
Now when you are filming do you ever get like the fisheye look say if you had this on a gimbal and where walking through a doorway?
So would you say that to film in a small room, this is the perfect lens?
Step Up Ring Link is broken
Hey, I do notice some barrel distortion on the gh5.... didn’t quite understand how you explained it compared to the gh5s🤔
Because the GH5s has a 1.86x crop sensor and the GH5 has a 2x crop sensor. So the GH5s actually uses “more” of the lens making it wider which should technically increase distortion. I hope that helps.
Very cool. Subscribed
Thank you!
Awesome video. I'm sold. How do you feel about not being able to do bokeh for people shots
Nice video!
Congratulations!
Thank you so much.
Happy you enjoyed it, do you have a Laowa 7.5 lens yet?
@@RICH_Photography It is my next purchase.
I was worried about the focus issue that some people pointed out, but you recently bought it and maybe that problem is fixed... I heard also about it being loose on the mount, did you experienced that?
Rich, for getting everything in focus from near to far when at f2, where do you set your focus at? Because of the wide angle, I have gotten away at setting at the infinity mark. But I'm wondering if I focus short of infinity, will I be able to have objects even closer, in focus. Thanks. I have this lens, and it can turn ordinary things in my backyard into something photogenic, especially when used during the golden hours with an off-camera flash.
So true!! Amazing lens.
To be quite honest at f2 it won’t be as sharp as f4 or 5.6
If I shoot at f2 to have everything in focus, I put it about a millimetre before the center of the infinity sign. Just that little bit helps it crank away from really far focus shots.
If you filming in a slightly more condensed place with people/crowds or real estate it helps as nothing is essentially that far away.
@@RICH_Photography Outstanding. That makes sense, Rich. For focusing at f2 where you want infinity and all the way back to the closest to the camera as possible to be in focus, I would set the focus before the hard stop, close to the center of the infinity mark. Outstanding! Will give that a try, thanks Rich.
You’re so welcome, let me know how it goes.
I was about to buy the Tokina 11-16mmf2,8 with a speed booster for my GH5 but I find this little one pretty damn cool !!! would that be a good option?
This is hands down my favourite lens!
Insanely wide!
Bonus, if you use the 4K extele GH5 punch in option, the wide 7.5mm disappears and you get another really useful lens.
@@RICH_Photography is that Teleconverter mode?
Correct 👌 punching in on the 7.5mm makes it really versatile as it’s not just the “super wide”.
Does this lens still stand the test of time 4yrs later? Has anything else come out that is comparable for the GH5?
4 years later still untouchable with no competition. Laowa did make a new 6mm.
I haven’t used the 6mm as yet. Looks crazy wide. Probably too wide for most uses but I think it could be a fun lens.
Have I ever been in a situation where I needed a wider lens, definitely not.
Can you use a focal reducer with this lens...
I’m not too sure, I’m sure you could. However if you have a GH5s you can use the EX teleconverter which crops in your image making it not near as wide.
Think I'll buy one for my 5S
Definitely...this whole video was shot on the GH5s and Laowa 7.5mm - th-cam.com/video/sbMVOf0Kmco/w-d-xo.html
So would you go with this or the tokina 11-16???
Hands down this Laowa, if I could pick up the new 6mm tomorrow I would 👌
Can you tell how how you achieved that insane movement effect @ 10:20 please.
Ah man I love that effect...it’s quite simple.
When filming you do a straight push in shot walking closer to the car.
In post you crop the entire shot to say 150%, and at the beat that drops or whatever point you need, you set a key frame to “crop back out to 100%” creating a ‘dolly zoom’ effect.
RICH Photography ahh I see sorta like the dolly zoom effect, did you find the sweet spot to focus on everything from close /far subjects?
Yeah so the Laowa is perfect at f5.6, and put the focus distance in the centre of the infinity sign on the lens, it’s pure sharpness all the way 👌
RICH Photography perfect thank you I will try that out later today🙏🙏🙏, I will be testing it out on my car rig
RICH Photography by anychance did you use any body stabilization? Not sure if I should have ibis on or not on the gh5
Gh5 is slightly sharper at edges? Or gh5 would get distortion?
And are those gimbal shots?
Technically the GH5 should be sharper at the edges and ‘distortion’ on the perspective will be less as the GH5 crops in ‘more’ than a GH5.
Yes those are 99% gimbal shots.
what is the difference between f2 and T2.1?
So T2.1 basically measures the exact amount of light passing through. And f2 is more of a bokeh/light measurement.
If you wondering in terms of physical difference in your photo or video, you won’t see a difference. They will be identical.
T stop is just a more professional measurement over F stop.
@@RICH_Photography Thnx )
It’s not zero distortion though...the 9mm is.
It’s marketed as a rectilinear lens, this was before Venus Optics started with the Zero D marketing.
In saying that this leaves a vague line between the 2.
Even though the GH5s is a 1.86 crop and not 2x like the GH5...the GH5S still has perfectly straight lines with zero distortion unlike most wide lenses.
@@RICH_Photography btw did u turn off all stabalisation?
I usually use stabilisation on all my shots, rough movements isn’t ideal for any wide lens but you have to set the GH5 when attaching the Laowa to 7.5mm (camera gives you a notification every-time just to make sure)
The 'Lao' in Laowa is pronounced like 'How'.
So it’s How-wa?
@@RICH_Photography Low-wa.
Gotcha! 👌
Great review! Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Will be doing a few more detailed reviews of some other m4/3 lenses soon.
