great video! No bs just real world experience advice, we need more of this on youtube. Please make a video about the transitions day to night. Subbed and looking froward to more vids!
Very useful video mate! You convinced me to get the Laowa 12mm for real estate apartments. Is it worth it for real state photography? Thanks a ton for your reply/ all the best
Was looking for a new lens since I'm over using my 16-35 f4 for the last 4 years. Kind weird this video popped up on the feed. Im thinking the Laowa swell to pair with the A7siii. Really loving your finished product so it would be cool to see a video of you out shooting and how you go from room to room with settings. Cheers man!!
Great vid, glad this came up in my search. Gonna place my order for the 14mm gm. Love the lightweight and especially that it's almost the same size as my 24mm gm. My real estates shoots are part talking headshots from the realtor with my 24gm so swapping to the 14gm on my gimbal for the property shoots will be much easier cuz i wont have to recallibrate like I have to do now when I use my 14-24 sigma 2.8. That lens is huge and hefty and because I got lazy I hardly ever use that lense and throw my tamron 17-28 on my cam which isn't wide enough most of the time. Can't wait to get my 14mm! Keep up the good work and I absolutely love your day to night transitions!
thanks for a video, did you shoot this video on sony a7iii? what color profile do you use, looks so clean and dynamic range outside of the windows.... wow
Woow so amasing video! What kind of lighting do you use in the rooms to get such pure white walls while the sun is shining from outside and the light is on inside? Do you have a video about this or a video worth to watching?
Impressive video, mate. I find that you went with PP6 for night for better low light performance. I would suggest you go with PP8 and HLG3 and set it at ISO 2,000 on a7SIII that looks crispy clean with better dynamic range that is comparable to SLog2 with better shadow recoverability vs SLog3 (so you expose for the highlights more). I think I might go with Sony 14mm f1.8 first then go for Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL instead of this one as it's creeping closer to the GM price with no AF and much lower f stop.
@@CreativePhilosophy_ Check out Gerald Undone's review of the picture profiles on a7SIII despite him not being a fan of HLG overall. Sadly, HLG3 doesn't get as much love but it saved critical underexposed footage of a tiny insect (2-3mm) due to extreme macro (~7x) with the image looking 100% intact unlike other PP. SLog3 has its place, but HLG3 is just to easy to correct without noise in most cases, especially at base ISO 100 and 2,000.
I have the Laowo ani have the Laowa and love it for landscape photography but looking to get the Sony 14mm for wedding and portrait photography because of the autofocus and light weight. It will allow me to be more creative and have a 21mm in crop mode giving me two lenses in one to go along with my Sony 24mm and 50mm 1.4 GM 😊
Do you need any sort of converter to use the Laowa on a Sony Full frame camera? or do you just pop it on like any other Sony lens? Great video work and editing by the way.
is the laowa good to use for photographing large group of people and then print them. Planning to use it for wedding group shot photos as well or even School Class pictures. Thank you.
Thank you for the comparison! Are you using a constant light for some of the interior video? The windows look so clear while keeping the room bright. I can never get that effect!
There is clearly a light being used in multiple interior clips. There are odd shadows on light fittings and fans etc and a light can be seen in a reflection in one of the bathroom clips.
@@CreativePhilosophy_ I just got an A7iii, Im going to learn how to use the slog 3! Thanks! So you expose 1.7 stops by looking at the exposure meter and making it "overexposed" on purpose?
@@jklein1040 I generally overexpose by +1.7 stops for the most even exposure. If I want to save some highlights because of a view or something inside, & it's well lit inside, then I might go lowest +1 stops over then boost shadows and mids in post :)
One of the big reasons I got the Laowa was yes because of Josh but also I needed the 12mm for the crop that s3 does in 4k. the 14mm with the crop is ok?
@AimonBebendorf Yeah I could definitely see the difference in your examples. Thanks for the great content, now I need to figure out the right codecs etc for da Vinci and my gpu. Just a year into video.
Doesn't the Loawa have Zero distortion? The Sony looked good but I thought the Loawa's were better for having zero distortion.. Would love for you to do a Real estate tutorial for lighting and how you shoot them... Thanks!

How about Sony 12-24mm F4, I really want your review and comparison between 14mm F1.8 vs 12-24mm F4 This is a wider angle and lighter weight option, with autofocus , also has decent sharpness overall than Laowa 12mm
An interesting take. For me not so hard a choice. I love ultra wide but sold my Laowa 12mm f2.8. I was quite honestly underwhelmed when looking at the resolution into the edges, let alone the corners at f2.8 shot on my Sony a7Riv. It just didn't cut it. Also quite big, heavy and slow to use in MF vs tap to focus or eye AF. Yes I like ultra wide for creative portraits too (not flattering , but dramatic). So I bought a 16-35GM f2.8, but I love primes, so later also bought a 20mm f1.8 G to complement my original 24mm GM f1.4. Seen many reviews about the 14mm GM and yesterday ordered one. I fully expect it to be a keeper unlike my old Laowa.
@@hamroz1 Hi yes, overall a keeper, as expected. Plan to use for astro landscape as well as architecture, interiors etc. IMO an overall much better and easier to use lens than my old (sold) Laowa 12mm. Only 2-3 downsides IMO: 1. Won't easily take filters (ND etc without box system - big, clunky, expensive). 2. It's very specific, impossible to use as an only lens, necessitating it comes along in your bag as an 'extra' lens - so travel light isn't an option (but lighter than Laowa) so still better (faster too). 3. Not cheap - but quality persists long after the heavy cost to buy is forgotten. So mine will be a long-term keeper.
@@rickymcc8624 thanks a lot for responding to me in details. Much appreciate it. Do you think it is worth it if you’re just doing realestate ? I couldn’t make up my mind between this and 16-35 power zoom
@@rickymcc8624 thanks mate. Great points there. The fact that you pointed it out it is very specific is kinda the reason I was hesitating to invest on it. Coz I know the Sony 16-35 pz can be used for various purposes and also realestate but not the 14.
Hello Hello, I shoot real estate videos and im buying a new gear. Sony A7SIII and I already have the sigma 24-70 2.8. Now my doubt is between a 14mm 1.8 sony or 20mm 1.8 sony, do you think the 14mm is more reasonable to buy, once that i already have one 24mm? Thankss and great video bro!
Good one, but what about the Sony 12-24mm? It has the 12mm and also is very good for distortion. Yes, a bit heavy, but it would be nice to see how it compares with these two.
Good point, I was just comparing primes that are best for gimbals, my photographer uses that for photos and it's perfect, I would avoid it on a gimbal for a lighter set up :)
@@CreativePhilosophy_ yes, it is heavy. I had the opportunity to shoot with it a while ago. And it has very little distortion, not much different from the Laowa, besides it has that Zero-D. It is also sharper than the Laowa. Indo not shoot video, so the size and weight are not very important to me. Price yes! But if I decide to invest in the Sony, I want to make sure I didn't do a mistake, and then sorry for selling the Laowa. The 14mm is cheaper, but I'm not sure about these 2mm.... I think they are quite important, especially for small rooms, baths, etc.
Bro just don’t expose to the right for twilights. Expose the middle like +0.3 slog 3 12800 5.6 eets bro your mad choosing s-cini 😂 in post you can still crunch shadows down to 10 ire and luma ^ to 90 ire and have heaps or room to adjust midtones with minimal noise ae.
I do not need a 12mm Lens, I never do video, I am a still photographer, doing nature, landscape, architecture with Sony A7RIV, I need the best Lenses you can get for max resolution, sharpness and contrast, so I have the Sony 14mm 1.8 GM Lens.

I really don’t believe the Laowa is that much wider to justify not going with Sony. I’d pick Sony for its image quality for sure.
That's the play!

Good review. I’m surprised to hear you shoot wide open so often like that. Aren’t you losing a lot of sharpness and DoF?
DoF isn't as much of an issue on such a wide lens, but yeah I try to shoot at 2nd native ISO and a higher aperture when possible :)
I'm going with the Laowa EF mount because I can also use it with the magic shift converter.
Great to hear! Thanks for the comment man.
Omg same! I'm using it with my R5 and a drop-in CPL filter. Best combo.
Really awesome work. ..Out of topic, I like your lighting. Can you tell, what type of lights do you use?

Hi
I am a new owner of sony A7S3 could you give me your opinion on the laowa 12 mm is that the fact that it has no autofocus is not a disadvantage?
@@mustafagomen7084 I would assume it being so wide, wouldnt need to be super accurate with focusing. Thats atleast how I dealt with my canon 10mm
Glad I could help :)

Nah :)
