My new toy is finally here...

Lens

Orderd in May came yesterday.

opening the box ...
it seems there are stil companies that use plastic as filling material ..

Sorry i don't use those websites .
We have Hive 😎

small damage on the box let's hope the lens is ok

yes the Laowa Full Frame 15mm f4.5 wide angle Macro 1:2 , but wait wasn't macro 1:1 ? Yes normally macro is 1:1 minimum

and another box ....

finally there is the lens in a plastic bag ..



and there it is mounted on the camera

All the above photos were created with my mobile phone .

The photos below are created with the Sony A7II + Laowa FF 15mm f4.5 wide angle Macro 1:2

Time to test the lens , since we were in the middle of a heat wave here in Holland i had to try things inside the house.

a pot with pencils

F11 1/60 ISO: 100

Our living room curtains closed to keep the heat out , almost no distortion .

F8 1/60 ISO: 100

This morning i tried some pictures on the bacony before the heat was back again 08:00, i used the Godox LED light instead of the flash .

F11 1/25 ISO: 200

A dead June bug on the balcony perfect to test ...

F11 1/40 ISO: 200

to show you how sharp the lens really is , here is the crop of that bug

I'm looking forward on experimenting outside with this lens, starting tomorrow we will have normal temperatures again for Holland .
