![]() | Venus Laowa FF II 10mm f/2.8 AF Pros: Finish, angle of view Cons: Everything else Opinion: I bought this lens driven by the large angle of view covered and its brightness. Solid and well-built optics, also nice as a finish but.... The merits end here. From the first shots I noticed that something was wrong with the files he churned out (shots taken with a Z8) they were as if mixed with poor contrast and accentuated colors. I did tests for several days, in the end I did an empirical test to get to the bottom of it. I took 2 lenses in my possession, the sigma art 12\\24 and the nikon 14\\30, and I compared them in the shots with the Laowa, I delimited an area and I took the same photo both with the sigma and with the nikon and with the laowa, leaving the aperture at f8 to have a better quality and varying only the shooting distance so that the areas taken were more or less overlapping. Well, laowa was the worst in terms of resolution and contrast, you just can't look at its results. Bad bad very bad, the resolution, compared to the nikon and the sigma is very poor, of course I also tried other apertures, opening the result got even worse, apart from an obvious vignetting. We are just not there, unfortunately useless optics, so much so that I returned it by motivating the reasons. I don't know, maybe the optics in my possession were faulty, maybe, I remember reading somewhere that many specimens came out defective, who knows, keep in mind that I waited since December to get it so it is not light-hearted that I decided to return it. Yet fairly well-known personalities in the photographic field when they reviewed it had spoken well of it, I am very disappointed, it can no longer be trusted sent on July 28, 2024 |
![]() | Nikon Z 70-180mm f/2.8 Pros: Everything, especially lightness and compactness. Nitidissimo even at full open, I'm using it with great satisfaction in events. The minimum focusing distance is also appreciable. Cons: For now, nothing Opinion: I bought this lens on the Nikon outlet as soon as it came out for 1049€, in my opinion a new lens arrived at home. I did a lot of tests and also a comparison with a fixed camera on a tripod with the 70\\200 2.8 Z. To my great surprise, apart from the shorter focal length, comparing the files, I have not seen any striking differences, the friend who lent me the 70\\200 was stunned looking at the photos, even zooming in on very significant differences there are none, files analyzed on a dell ultrasharp 32 inch 4k, ultimately I highly recommend it to everyone. With less than 3 kilos (backpack excluded) I carry with me Z8, 14\\30 4, 24\\70 2.8 and 70\\180 2.8, complete and very light kit, the shoulders thank :) Question for Serpero : but is it necessary to lock the lens when not in use ? I haven't read any special warnings but I don't want to ruin it by not blocking it during transport. sent on March 18, 2024 |
