Hi, I recently bought new Laowa 12mm 2.8 lens.
As there are today a lot of manual UWA option I choose this one.
It is priciest 950$ + 23% VAT for import to Poland.
But still it is smallest, and less distorted lens.
I strongly suggest to watch the reviews on youtube. there are some and all are quite good.
Lets go to photos:

It looks good, I was thinking of getting the 7.5mm for m4/3rds as a superwide. |

Laowa have recently launched the Magic Shift Converter, in the first instance for the 12mm, but it also allows various 35mm legacy lenses to be used shifted. It has a magnification factor of x1.4 to expand the image circle. I have tried it with these lenses (in AI mount), all at maximumm 10mm shift, on A7R body:
Laowa 12mm
Pentax-K SMC 15mm 3.5
Tamron SP 17mm 3.5
Nikon Nikkor 20mm 2.8
Nikon-N Auto 24mm 2.8
The 20mm vignetted with a hood on but not without. The others were OK with a hood. _________________ Dedicated to using manual focus lenses with digital.
