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 Jason Selby

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very controllable distortion for a 12mm wide angle lens

I really like it, it's always sharp, but I have another 12mm f2.8 fisheye lens from Rokinon. I found that Laowa is not as wide as Fisheye Even after correcting distortion, Fisheye Rokinon is still wider and Laowa is slightly wider than 16-35mm GM when it's possible to shoot full frame video on my Sony A7iii at 12mm f2.8 Rokinon 12mm f2.8 Fisheye with corrected in-camera distortion like that available in many action cameras I probably won't buy, but for now I like how Laowa physically corrects the distortion before shooting the image hits the sensor.

Pros
  • Lenses for SLR cameras
Cons
  • Safety
