Review on πŸ“· Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D Sony FE Lens: Wide Angle MILC/SLR Photography with Manual Focus – Sony E-mount by Heather Collier

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great lens. for the right photographer

Let me preface that if you are familiar with the manual nature of this lens, don't hesitate to buy it. This lens is fantastic. Just not for me. I needed this for my real estate photography business. My problem is not with the lens but with my old blurry eyes! I've tried, but I just can't get the crisp image my clients want. Again, I don't blame the lens, I just don't have the luxury of spending a lot of time filming on location to get the sharpness I need. While the focus looks great on my Sony A7iii screen, the focus on the final edit isn't what I want. Unfortunately, I have to rely on the autofocus features that Sony offers. I'll manage the cost somehow and buy a Sony G Master FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM wide-angle zoom lens. Unfortunately, this lens costs almost as much as the camera itself!
