Pros: dimensions, weight, angle of view, build quality

Cons: a little soft on the sides of the frame

Opinion: Fully manual lens made of metal; very robust, compact and lightweight; fantastic for traveling and shooting with the camera around your neck: combined with the Canon M6 Mark II camera body yes and no you get to 600 grams! Crazy angle of view achievable on apsc without distortion only from the excellent but more bulky and heavier sigma 8-16. The only problem I encountered is a bit of biting on the sides of the frame even at apertures between f /5.6 f / 8 where I think the lens gives its best in sharpness. Although it is a fully manual lens, the focus is quite easy thanks to the focus peaking. For the use I make of it (photography in confined environments, urbex, travel) I am completely satisfied. If purchased for canon remember from the options to select the "release of the shutter without lens" otherwise the machine will not work: in fact, being a completely manual lens, it is not recognized by the camera.

Pros: Price, weight, definition.

Cons: Nothing, great for the price category.

Opinion: Tried first with fuji x-t4 getting good results. Mounted on x-t2 with converted 720nm infrared sensor, excellent results. I was surprised by the depth of field and the definition even at full aperture and completely devoid of closed diaphragm hot points. There is no autofocus but you do not miss it, near infinity it is practically all in focus. The only small drawback for me are the small size for my two cameras, but it's just a purely aesthetic fact. Goal definitely worth trying.

Pros: Price, tiny size, construction quality (all metal), sharpening even at 2.8, few distortions easily reduced with lightroom. For the videos I mount the variable ND filter with reducing ring from 77mm to 49mm.

Cons: Almost nothing. Totally manual and without electronic contact, so it does not communicate with the machine body.

Opinion: Taken used as new at a great price on Ebay with shipping from the US. I've wanted to try Venus Laowa optics for a long time and now I can call myself a fan of theirs and I can't wait to buy more. Easy to focus on peaking my Sony alpha. Amazing how small it is, when I received the package I thought it was a joke, but instead the quality and sharpness of the shots is stunning especially for its price.

Pros: Price, lightness, build quality, image quality, angle of view, very limited distortions, possibility to mount filters of 49 mm (so not exaggeratedly expensive)

Cons: A little soft at full aperture, lack of the chip to communicate with the camera body, nuts contrary to the standard to which I am accustomed, flare backlight

Opinion: I purchased from 15 days this objective. I waited a long time in Italy, then I found myself in New York, I took a tour from B&H and it was love at first sight. Finally a lens as I like, all glass (to say the real bit, given the size) and metal, Lens hood included! Very small and light lens, but with a constructive quality definitely worth noting. The ring nuts are cut to the right point and that of the diaphragms is not free, but it makes its classics "clicks" in opening or closing. A little note on the ring nuts: compared to the standard I'm used to (Fuji) they rotate in the opposite direction, but just remember and make a hand. A lens entirely in manual focus: Pity that you miss the microchip to communicate to the camera EXIF data, but at that price (449 dollars) You can turn a blind eye! A little difficult to make the fire, given the huge scene framed, but working in hyperfocal you travel in peace and you do not miss a shot. I found myself making several shots, of which some at full aperture and others at F/8-11: A f/2.8, in addition to vignette a little, the image is quite soft, and then greatly improve towards F/8 (which is how I used it mainly in these 15 days). I reserve to try again at full aperture on my X-T3 and I will correct any opinions. Another nice thing is the possibility to mount filters on the front thread, since the front lens does not protrudes due to the caming, as on other wide angles. It also accepts filters of diameter 49 mm, so I could buy some excellent B + W ND without having to faze! The point, perhaps more painful, is the tightness to the backlight: given the peculiarity of this focal length is easy to have flares quite impressive in the frame. Pay attention and, if you can't avoid them, use them on your behalf!
