Venus Laowa 200mm f/2 AF Pros: Not bad T/A sharpness, transition between focus point and out of focus excellent and pleasant, construction, equipment, weight and price, bokeh ? Cons: Vignetting and lighthouse aberration: relegated exclusively to night photography. Opinion: it is a very valid option with a good AF but improvable (I speak from installed on Z5, however it does its job but a little slowly...), excellent lens for those who want to afford a 200 ƒ/2 without spending the wrath of god. In my opinion it is not a very sensible purchase if you already own a 70/80-200 ƒ/2.8 with good blur or if you want to relegate the purchase only and exclusively to astrophotography. The drop-in filter solution is excellent, the 105mm thread is futile (also because an optical filter works better near the sensor). Flare ok but better to use it with a lens hood...! Various functions such as click-declick useful for videomakers, minimum distance MAF 1.5mt, sealing ring with integrated removable ARCA SWISS foot does a lot of stuff. It is a telephoto that winks at many for many features that are worth taking into consideration. I forgot: I really like the new Laowa look... It was time to stop with these "bescioline" or black colors. Excellent stylistic choice. sent on 26 Febbraio 2026 |

Venus Laowa 14mm f/4 Zero-D DSLR Pros: Sharpness, compactness, filter thread Ø67mm, ƒ/n transmitted on EXIF Cons: at the moment none Opinion: Very welcome lens for those who still own the full frame SLR, make landscape or architecture and do not want to find themselves choosing the classic samyang or voightlander or other older lenses or simply limiting in dedicated accessories. You can mount the classic filters without giant systems that, in addition to being uncomfortable, act as a sail on windy days causing micro-stir or, at worst, the equipment on the ground. Finishes worthy of the most renowned lens manufacturers, possibility of focusing from 14.5 cm (and not only ...) The lens is definitely for daytime landscapes and architecture (I would say more internal than imposing exterior, where a tilt-shift works better) but also remarkable for night especially with special multi-exposure techniques but also single-shot with performing camera bodies. I have had the optics for a few months, I plan to review and possibly confirm this review but to date it is all tested and fully functional! sent on 27 Gennaio 2022 |

Manfrotto MT 293 A4 Pros: Especially resistant to the clamping system (those closures do not crack even if you want), all in all a reliable product over time. Cons: Price, legs with games between sections especially lower, last section really too fine, the legs come off (I had to glue them), too often enters sand - soil - mud between the sections, relatively low, offers little for the price it has. Opinion: Taken, two years ago, this tripod without the head (I used a Benro N2): at first glance everything is very nice, well structured. Not really very compact even about the fact that, however, it is not a tripod that reaches great heights. He suffers great weight especially if everything is open and if you shoot on windy days (I recommend not to overdo the opening of all sections). The shock-proof rubber pad on the central column is very sensible, much less the rubber stopper that came off a thousand times and I lost it in the end. The system that allows you to switch on the opening angle of the legs was not bad but also suffers from any deposits - debris and sometimes it was difficult to change the opening of the legs, especially in situations such as the rocks.rnFor that price, today (but maybe even a few years ago), he finds himself much better, but it's not too bad. Recommended more for low-weight mirrorless / aps-c / fullframe with low weight optics. Not recommended for astroinseguimenti even if you have astroinseguitorthe light or onboard systems (like the pentax): just a simple gust of wind against you and you will find the stars by way of electrocardiogram .. last thing: for the weight that it should hold more .. materials used malino !! sent on 18 Marzo 2018 |
