Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D SLR Ultra-Wide Lens - Ultimate Wide-Angle Photography with Sony E Mount Review

Image quality is pretty good but as others have pointed out there is a bit of vignetting which isn't a big deal if you're doing a post - will be edited. The only minor issue is that the lens mount fits the camera body pretty snugly. I've noticed that most aftermarket X-mount lenses may not do this and some do a better job. It seems to wear out with use. I like the compact size and the all-metal body. It is better to buy a Samyang or Rokinon 12mm if you can choose a narrower focal length.

I bought this lens for my Sony a6400 ASP-C format camera. I use this lens for real estate and architecture photography. This lens is distortion-free and makes editing easier.

I also did street photography with him, which

It gets better up to F8 but the sharpness is really really bad compared to every Fuji lens I own. UPDATE: I ordered an interchangeable lens and it's definitely better than the first one. I've raised my original two star…

Update September 16, 2019: Not sure why my photos didn't make it into my original review, but only for in case it was the size, I downsized it and reposted it. If it was because our guide, Dylan, wasn't shirtless, I posted a photo of everyone fully dressed for Revane's humble police force. Obviously scaled down images lose some precision, but I'm just trying to give a general indication of how to find and set the correct infinity setting and the fact that this is definitely NOT zero distortion.
