- My version couldn\'t focus to infinity properly across the entire field and given that it was primarily for astrophotography and photographing architecture it was a no go. In short not being able to get sharp details or pin-point stars was an issue even at such an angle. I feel if I can get a good copy then my review would be more on par with other reviews as I have salivated over this lens since the kickstarter and no doubt that this is a superb lens if you get a good copy. That said with just 30 day window for returns coupled with the high price I\'m to nervous to just keep playing the return game especially given a review I read on Adorama where a guy had the exact same issue I had (i.e. if I keep getting bad copies that have this focus at infinity issue).I may try renting this lens again from Lens rentals where at least I know Roger Cicala will weed out a bad copy.I thought I was being picky but found a similar review on Adorama where the guy had gotten multiple bad copies. In any case the images I got were good but those that needed focus at infinity were not tack sharp (astro mainly) as others have seen. Will try again after I do more research or if Laowa could get me a copy they knew was tack sharp... In the end with a 30 day window I decided to do a return. I\'ll update my review if I can get a good copy.That said when I do I\'ll probably get it at Adorama or B&H as I feel more comfortable with their return policy on lenses as they better understand the issues with getting a \"bad copy\" This is especially true given my experience with a Sigma lens purchased at Adorama where they ended up testing it for me before sending it out :)
- I use this lens for real estate photography and it has been a game changer! I can get in some super small rooms and get great full shots of everything! I use a Nikon D500, which has a 1.5x crop, but this lens is still the best!It is ALL MANUAL just so you know. It is HEAVY and all metal! That type of build makes it feel durable, but I’m not putting mine through anything rough. Also, since it’s heavier than expected I had to readjust my glide cam mount for doing video, but that didn’t take too long.Personally I recommend this lens to anyone who is doing real estate or just wants a super wide lens. Other than that, I’m not sure if it has many other uses. I might just not be creative enough though.
- This lens is absolutely fantastic. The zero distortion is awesome. I shoot real estate videos and the lens is super lightweight which makes it great for using on a gimbal or steadicam.
- Great lens. Highly recommended!
