You really need to promote your RUclips channel on your main page. As someone who waste a lot of time warching camera related RUclips channels and today is the first time I stumble across this channel.

Good review, the falloff is indeed good and controlled on the 85mm Z. While the G lens had color fringing at 1.8 quite a bit I thought it had a bit more character than my Z. I kind of regret selling it in that regard.

The image showing a focus tab at 4:42 is of the Voigtlander VM 28/2.8, and not this Laowa lens.

Hi thanks for the review. I have an A7r and an A5100 and I am looking to get a 15mm lens (or equivalent f.o.v) Which would be the better lens between this Laowa 15mm F5 and the Laowa 10mm F4 for aps-c. Light gathering is pretty similar and I’m not bothered about 36mp vs 24mp so I guess it comes down to sharpness and vignetting. Any thoughts greatly appreciated (now subscribed 😊)

Great review.

I love the format. Everything neat and tidy, presented in a concise form with examples. Keep up the good work!

A fair price for a fun little lens.

Looks sharp

I really appreciate TTArtisan releasing these lenses in M42. I hope they continue with this as I love having new glass for my Voigtlander VSL1 35mm Film camera. I have gotten great results from that camera with the TTartisan 75mmf1.5 and recently bought this 100mmf2.8.

Shame that aparature preset device have been omitted by TTartisan. It is very useful today for film shooters or those photographers who still uses classic DSLR.

Great review. The Bokeh is beautiful.

Subscribed! Very well done review!

If you compare it to the Sony 50mm f1.2 GM, you can see that the Nikon 50mm f1.2 S's autofocus is slow and noisy. It's also unnecessarily big and heavy. If you look at the Sigma 50mm f1.2 or the Sony 50mm f1.2 GM, you can see that it can be done better, smaller and lighter - and if you look at the Sigma, also for half the price. In my opinion, this Nikon 50mm f1.2 lens urgently needs a Mk II update.

Excellent review! And very professionell! Thx Martin!

Great review! Especially showing sharpness at several distances, which is rarely shown so clearely. The only missing information is a comparison between the ttartisan, the biotar and the helios. Adding this would habe truly meant coming full circle

Thx for the Test - well done! At 13.11 minute it was in Saarbrücken?

What is DX mode?

This is an awesome lens. But too heavy for most practical purposes. I think the 200mm f/4 AI-S is a better option.

Awesome review! I like Pergear lenses.

What mount does it have?

Please do a review, I am fascinated by this one!

It's, as you said, a matter of taste. I really dislike this bokeh effect.

Great review. Thank you.

Thanks for the honest and balanced review.

NIKKOR 200mm f2.0 G ED VR (ii) renders better and sharper, also with better contrast and saturation😮😊 and unfortunately because of the vintage lenses collectors prises for this Ai-s manual version became almost on the same level with more modern G ED VR version...😂

Thanks for the great review!

Excellente video

Were you using the techart autofocus adapter?

I have this in a later version, and I agree that it is a great lens. However, as I have new lenses for mirrorless, I almost never use it.

one of my favorite lenses, I own the later version and its amazingly sharp for being such an old lens. I love the Sonnar bokeh its just fantastic, the 180mm CZJ 2.8 has even better bokeh I think.

Thanks for the review. I recently got the multicoated M42 black version. Some years before I had a bad copy of the Prakticar-Version. That bad copy was clearly inferior to the M42 copy I have right now. East German lenses commonly suffer from large sample variation and the newer they are the worse it gets. Did a little comparison with my Minolta MC Tele Rokkor 2.8/135mm. My Minolta is a little sharper wide open, but has more color fringing and is larger and much heavier.

I have a later version of this lens, from around the late 70s-early 80s perhaps (the black version). I am still impressed by the quality, colors and contrast I can get out of the lens and it's a pleasure to use

Brilliant review! You've helped me to make up my mind to buy one. I'll definitely follow your work from now on.

excellent review

Thanks a lot for sample Images

I had no idea there were video reviews! Been following the blog for years.

Am ordering a copy to complement my 40 mm f2 for my Nikon Zf body an excellent review 😊

Good real world review, I'm picking one up next week

Wonderful review

I have the TTartisans 100/2.8 bubble bokeh, one more of this type lens I don't need.

Great review, thank you! I have it on ore order. Since this is mostly a character lens, the flare is desirable for artistic shots.

You can keep that I will stick with my 500cm. Thank you.

China begins to control the fate of thieves in their hands

it would appear to be a faithful Biotar reproduction with lesser coatings

I have this lens and I love it and you echo most of my thoughts on image quality. I love the compact size and weight. Side note ….i enjoy your channel you do an excellent job !

The best review of this interesting lens I found today. Thanks.

TTartisan Helios 58mm should be their next goal, I will buy it in a heart beat.

The 3d pop at 16:38 is nice. $269 -289 for a new classic lens sounds reasonable.

To mention are the other 75mm options (because rare and therfore easy and useful to compare, EVEN if this one is probably the only one of this kind of background... or the petzle?) ..Such as by Voightlander and the probably very interesting Samyang AF.

Very thorough review! Thanks for sharing your findings.
