Description

New optics to join the Laowa Zero-D range, for near-zero distortion. Built all in Aluminium, its very moderate weight and reduced footprint go hand in hand with the format of a hybrid case for both photo and video use (easy balancing on a stabilization system). Its construction incorporates 2 aspherical lenses as well as 3 ED glass lenses to limit the appearance of chromatic aberrations and maintain maximum detail. The front lens has a hydrophobic treatment to prevent water splashes during shooting. A thread also makes it possible to use 49mm dia-meter filters to protect the lens, to add a polarizer or a neutral gray appreciated in landscape photo. Technical features - APS-C ultra-wide- angle optics for hybrid - 113 degrees of field angle - Durable all-aluminum construction - Compact and lightweight: perfect fit with a hybrid camera in photo or video on stabilizer - Includes 2 aspherical lenses + 3 ultra-low dispersion glass lenses to reduce chromatic aberrations - Close distortion from zero - Trah hydrophobic frontal lens

  • Find the correct infinity focus, set for hyperfocal, and forget
Size: Sony E Mount
16SEP2019 Update: Not sure why my pic(s) didn't make it in my original review, but in case it was because of size, I reduced them and reposted. If it was because our guide, Dylan, had his shirt off, I reposted pics with everyone fully clothed for the Amazon prude police. Obviously, the reduced-size pics will lose some fidelity, but I'm just trying to make a broad point about finding and setting the correct infinity setting, and the fact that this thing is most certainly NOT Zero-Distortion. That being said, it was cheap(ish), and if I can set and mark the correct infinity focus - it will still be amazing and I'll keep it. Take a look at how freakishly small the Sony a5100 with the Laowa (sans lens hood) is next to the 8 oz hotel coffee cup!! Again - FORGET about blurring backgrounds with the f/2.8 aperture. This lens is way too wide. It is made for hyperfocal shooting... I just need to find the correct infinity mark. Hope this helps! Original review: I bought this lens and a Sony a5100 simply to have a small, ultra-wide setup of decent-enough quality that I could throw in a bag and not really give it much thought. I intended for the lens and body to stay together forever (I have other Sony bodies and lenses to use for other stuff). The way I anticipated using this setup are/were to stop down to f/8-f/11, set for hyperfocal shooting, shutter-priority with Auto ISO, and forget it. At f/11, everything from about 10" to infinity is (supposed to be) in focus. On a bright day (like the example pic I shot yesterday), I just tweak the shutter speed until I see the ISO bump up above base, That was the plan. First, the good - the package truly is small. As a bonus, it even takes 49mm filters! I know of no other lens THIS WIDE that takes normal filters. I should mention that I threw a cheap circular polarizer on for shooting yesterday, but with the a5100's lack of viewfinder, it was all but unusable (couldn't tell if if was working, so I took it off after a few shots. Also, the lens hood makes it very difficult (but not impossible) to rotate the polarizer. I'll put a 49mm skylight on later just to protect the front element. Not having to worry about autofocus (or ANY focus) is also a huge plus for this type of shooting! Everything I shot was definitely between 10" and infinity (read: in focus). Everything was looking good on the boat... Now the cons. I think I'll have to tinker with the infinity setting because it clearly is not marked precisely. The city in the background of the example photo (Hollywood, FL BTW) is not in focus enough for my tastes. The shot was f/11 @ 1/500s, auto ISO. To be fair, in post I cropped, straightened the horizon, probably tweaked the exposure some, and was shooting jpg only, but... still. The whole point (for me) was to throw caution to the wind and not worry about focusing. This is probably 'fixable' by finding the correct infinity point and marking it - I'll play around and update this review later. Next, The aperture ring is too easy to bump out of the correct setting. I check the hyperfocal setting each time anyway, so this isn't a huge deal, but just know that the 'clicks' on the aperture ring are very, very light. The lens hood doesn't snap into place either. I LOVE that it is removable and reversible for storage, but it is only held in place by friction - and not enough of it, in my opinion. During shooting yesterday, it came off sometime without me noticing it. I found it later on the boat - right next to one of the drain holes where they hose all the fish blood and saltwater out of! That was close, because I'm pretty sure it would have fit through the drain hole. Finally, I do not buy the "Zero Distortion" claim. As you can see from the (out of focus!) buildings at the edges of my sample image, they are clearly very distorted. I know it's not supposed to be perfect, but if I wanted a fisheye... Subjectively, I have to say that the images don't look as 'wide' as I had hoped either. I brought my Samsung Galaxy S10 on the trip too, and the images from its' ultra wide angle lens (12mm FF-equivalent!!!) are breathtaking! And - it's always with me and shoots a respectable 16MP). If I can't solve the infinity focus issue on the Laowa, or if this is a lens-resolution issue, I think this one will be going back. Which sucks because it was also my justification for the Sony a5100! ... show more

  • Zero Distortion
Size: Fuji Mount
Truly zero distortion, a Real Estimate photographers dream, great for video too. You get the width of a gopro or ultra wide phone lens, but with the quality & editing flexibility of your interchangeable lens camera. It does have noticeably vignetting at aperture's under f5.6, but that's a trade off I'm willing to live with in exchange for super sharp images with perfectly straight lines. ... show more

  • The widest non-fisheye lens for Sony Alpha series.
Size: Sony E Mount
The media could not be loaded. My first manual focus, manual aperture lens. I use it for real estate photography and video, with the focus set to infinity and the results have been good. Prior to this I used the Sony 10-18 f4 AF zoom. Since it doesn’t have image stabilization, I use it on a gimbal, with my non-IBIS a64000, and I’ve been pleased with the results. ... show more

  • Solid Build Quality but First Copy Not Very Sharp - Second Much Better
Size: Fuji Mount
INITIAL REVIEW: I purchased this lens based on some very good reviews but I suspect that samples vary widely in performance. The build quality is top notch on the lens. Wide open the lens is ok near the center and gets progressively worse toward the edges. Is is horrible in the corners/edges. Stopping down to F8 it gets better but the sharpness is really very poor compared to any fuji lens I own. UPDATE: I ordered a replacement lens and it is certainly better than the first. I've upped my original two star rating to a four with the caveat that you need to take a close look at the lens sharpness to ensure you didn't get a "dud" like I did on the first copy. ... show more

  • Works great, though I returned it.
Size: Micro Four-Thirds
After buying this lens for real estate photography, I ended up selling all my micro four thirds stuff and upgrading to an A7iii and the sigma 14-24mm. The crop factor of the m43 cameras are 50%, so too tight for most real estate pictures, but for videos, I'd say this is a perfect lens. Very little distortion. ... show more

  • Fun Little Lens
Size: Fuji Mount
I'm still learning to work with the extreme width, so far so good. The photos are vivid and the lack of auto-focus is something that will only rarely be an issue. The only beef I have is with customer service and the lens hood, and how it *appears* to be securely attached but is not. Result, I lost mine within the first week when it came unattached and fell into a river too deep to go after it. Which wouldn't be so bad, except I still have no response about how to get a replacement. ... show more

  • Nice ultra wide x mount lens
Size: Fuji Mount
Image quality is quite nice, but there is a bit of a vignette as noted by others, not a big deal if you are doing any post processing. Only minor concern is lens mount is quite tight to fit on camera body. I have noticed that This can be hit or miss with most of the aftermarket x mount lenses and some are better at getting this fit right. It seems like it is wearing in with use. I love the compact size and all metal build. Bang for buck the Samyang or Rokinon 12mm is still the smarter purchase if you can go with a bit narrower focal length. ... show more

  • Amazingly sharp!
Size: Sony E Mount
I bought this lens for my Sony a6400, ASP-C format camera. I use this lens for real estate and architecture photography. This lens has zero distortion and makes editing a breeze. My camera has a 1.5 crop factor, which makes this 9mm lens a 13.5mm on my camera. You can get really close to your subject and still get every part of the building or subject in frame. When I first got this, I really missed having auto-focus and electronic camera controls. After using this lens for over 6 months, I can say I'm very happy I bought it. The lens takes up a small amount of space in my camera bag. If this was helpful, please give it a helpful vote - thank you. ... show more
