Thanks for the awesome review 👏👏 It's actually the first one I've come across on TH-cam about this lens for underwater photography. I have a couple of questions about the lens. Do you think it's suitable for capturing sharks, manta rays, whales, or other pelagic species? Also, how well does it perform when shooting videos? I currently have a 16-35mm GM Sony lens, but I sometimes feel the need for a wider lens. Sony doesn't have a prime lens wider than 12mm for FF cameras with AF, so I would really appreciate your input. Thanks a bunch! 😊
Glad you liked it! To answer your questions: 1. I think it would be a great wide lens for pelagic species! It would be a bit softer in the corners than a fisheye or the 16-35mm but in pelagic water you wouldn't notice. 2. Our video footage came out great! We didn't notice any major focus breathing. It's actually pretty amazing. So we would totally recommend it for video. Ikelite published some additional footage that we took here: th-cam.com/video/OjuZ0goXHBo/w-d-xo.html I do honestly feel like this lens could meet your needs. We have it for sale here: www.bluewaterphotostore.com/laowa-10mm-f-2-8-zero-d-ff-lens/ Feel free to reach out to us at sales@bluewaterphotostore.com if you need help getting set up.
