![Laowa 7.5mm f2 - [NEW version: FIRST Impression Photowalk]](/img/n.gif)
Please add the "Version A" to the title: This is the "Laowa C-Dreamer 7,5 mm F2 A" . The "Version A" is the one with electronic transfer of apperture to the cam and has 5 instead of 7 aperture blades. MSRP is slightly higher than the old version.
What a wonderful review, and a wonderful lens. And the fact that someone (a photographer) is actually not put off by the lack of auto-focus... is a breath of fresh air. Precisely! Thank you.
Thanks for your kind words😀
Very nice review! I like taking pictures of flowers and architecture too. Your videos not only inform me about the featured equipment, they also enlighten me to new ideas and techniques.
Thank you so much.
This lens looks great. Really happy to see the upgrade. Very cool.
Thanks.
Hello Matt, nice review, you've answer all my questions in mind...more power to your channel.
Awesome, thank you!
Sooooooo beautiful photos. :)
Thank you very much!
Nice lens review as always.
The leather camera/hand strap seams so comfortable
Thanks for watching! That strap is great.
Recently I got the 10 mm version. Also a great lens and a joy to work with. The electronic contacts really make a difference.
Yes, it makes a difference, indeed.
Wow, that is amazing.
Great review. I'm not a superwide shooter, but I still learned something.
Thanks.
Excellent information, just what I wanted to know.
Awesome, thank you!
Here to support!
Thanks.
Another advantage of EXIF data is worth mentioning: the ibis needs to know about the focal length, otherwise it fights you. For some time Ihad more than one manual lens and always needed to check for the correct settings in the camera, which was a Bit annoying.
Thanks. Yes, that is a very good point.
The Laowa 7.5mm and 10mm are chipped, and also specically made for M43. I hope they will add the chip to all other lenses.
@@RB-pp5tvmy gh5 knows my laowa is on there. Always asks if 8mm is still cool for setting.
Very cool. It seems we were both super widening this week :-)
Thanks, Ari. Super wide seemed to be the order fo the day😀
nice lens! one of my favorite wide angle lens for my GH5. nice video btw
Thank you.
Arrgh I thought I got a good deal on this lens and then I saw your review showing there's a SECOND version! Darn. I hope the image quality is as good as the newer version, at least. Thanks for your video... I only wish I'd seen it sooner!
As far as I know the second version has the same optics as the first one.
I am a little pissed off, because I just bought the old version six weeks ago. If I would have known Laowa was launching a new electronic version, I might have waited. It is still a terrific lens; no matter if with or without electronic contacts.
Good review, thanks.
Which wide angle lens did you use to shoot the video?
Thank you!
This lens looks simply amazing. Way out of my budget as I'm still a beginner photographer, but hopefully one day I'll get my hands on it, or at least a wide angle for mft with an aperture that great 🤞🏼
Thanks.
Nice and simple upgrade. Wish more MF makers did this.
Nice review. Thanks!
By the way, great stabilization of your walking video. Wich go pro are you using?
Thanks. I have the Hero 8.
I like the addition of the exif. Still struggling with the idea of giving up an aperture ring. So far have not done that for any lens.
Thanks.
I love your instructional videos but I would appreciate if you say at the beginning of a lens review which Lumix body you are using. Also if you have a detailed description of how to set up camera menus that you list them in your review. I'd like to see it elucidated in your description. It's difficult to go back and scroll through a video to find the settings.For this particular video I have no idea which Lumix camera you are using.
Thanks for your feedback.
Good to see Laowa getting wired with camera, this makes their lenses more attractive. I think this a nice video formula : practical review with city walk is both nice and interesting.
Thank you.
I’m wondering when this lens will be available for purchase ? I don’t even see anything about it online with the exeption of this wonderful TH-cam video.
The official launch is today 11th June 2021.
@@mattisulanto thank you very much for the information 🙏🏻
Not sure where to find this lens… I’m only seeing the older versions… great review!
Thanks. I hope you can find it eventually.
Hi Matti, hope everything is going well with you and your family.
Do you think it is a good lens for astrophotography in the MFT system?
Have you released a new zine?
All the best to you and your family.
I'm not any kind of astrophotography specialist, but I think this lens could work.
cn u use this for videoing on lumiz panasonic gh5 ? wod be cool if u gave me info on the difference between a 12mm lens and this 7.5mm how much wider is the 7.5??
You can shoot video on this lens, of course. It's a bit difficult to describe the angel of view difference, but maybe this video can help you: th-cam.com/video/pVM7BzaY4ms/w-d-xo.html By the way, I'm not a brand ambassador any more.
Thanks for this test 🤗 this lens sounds great. Wich camera do you use in this video ? Is that a Pen F or a GX8 ?
I'm pretty certain it's a GX9.
Thanks. In the video I have the GX9.
Thanks as always for excellent review but one thing I've wondered about is post processing? Not sure about LR/PS, but DxO Photolab doesn't appear to have lens profiles for Laowa products. Your thoughts? PS, love the Zine 🙂
Thanks and great to hear you got the zine. You really don't need a profile for this lens, because there is not much to correct.
If a lens does not have electronic connection to the body, like the previous version, there is no information in the EXIF for DXO to read and know which lens was used. It will be possible for DXO to support the new lens.
@@ianyorke2617 thanks,
I feel bad that I missed this one. One tends to think about the next lens acquisition, almost as a psychological hobby, often, when there is a barrier to some shot you like, or cannot get with the stuff in your bag. Your point is well taken, moreover, that you tend to make expensive decisions on whether you have something else the that suits possibly well-enough. So, no I haven't, and yes this lens looks like the next need-filler. Thank you for the well-thought review.
Thanks for watching.
nice vlog sir .. ok sir What is your camera that filmed this vlog? And what is the gimbal that you used with the camera while you were walking?
Thanks. I used the GoPro Hero 8 to film this.
I’ve had the fully manual 7.5mm for about a year. I recently picked up the new 10mm with electronic communication and it’s significantly easier to use than the 7.5. Will I upgrade the older lens? Not right away, but I’ll be thinking about it.
Thanks for sharing.
I like what Laowa is doing now that they’ve joined Four Thirds. They create excellent optics, now have good integration with the bodies and avoid the autofocus cost and potential issues.
Thanks and a question. Did you shoot in Aperture or Manual mode?
I used all PASM, but mostly A.
I use mine daily with my gh5 to film my children.
would i get manual focus aid with this lens on my em5 mk III?
You should get all the same features as with Panasonic.
How can I mount this to my Canon with an EF mount?
It's not possible.
I was loaned a 7.5 about 5 years ago. But I noticed a lot of vignetting with a blue cast. It seems to me that the new model does not have this problem. Quite right?
I did not see anything like that.
It blurs the background nice even at 7.5mm I'm surprised 8:43
Yes, if you go close enough.
Is the 10mm version being upgraded too?
That needs no upgrade, because it already has those electronic features.
Did film on the laowa 7.5 or which lens did you use for your video here?
I used the Gopro Hero 8.
@@mattisulanto do you think its a good lens for vlogging and how good is it compared to the 7-14 olympus pro for example?
@@igi.invigorate5331 If manual focus is ok for you then it can be a great vlogging lens. The Olympus has autofocus, it's bigger, it's heavier and it's a zoom. It's more expensive too.
Why are these Laowa lenses manual focus only?
You'd have to ask Laowa😀 My guess is because manual focus lenses are much easier to design and manufacture.
will it fit your Sony?
It's MFT lens as you'll discover, if you watch the video😀
@@mattisulanto you can get mft to sony adapter which is basically a shim. So the original lens with aperture ring would be needed
Although a bit pointless on this one, as image circle prob wont cover APS-C
Almost same as smarthpone lens
7.5mm for m43?!
Please, see the video it's all there.
