The fact that it takes filters ALONE makes it amazing. Rectilinear, full frame, autofocusing, full frame, and near-macro are all just cherries on top lol.
NGL that 18 looks very good for the chat format. Makes it feel more like we're sat across the table from a friend rather than in the lap of a maniac. 10/10 ✨
What an amazing lens! 10mm FF! Amazing that you are still in focus with your nose almost touching the hood. Of course, at that distance you look like a caricature of yourself. This lens should definitely be nominated for the Toneh Awards.
Loved the music in the slo-mo segment. it was really visually and musically moving. the face close-up were absolutely hilarious. as good as you are, you are getting even better on all fronts. really inspiring man.
I have a Sigma 10-20mm f.4 lens. Zoomed out on my Canon 5D, it could photograph an entire black hole from the event horizon. Super wide angle lenses are a lot of fun.
I've had the Laowa 12mm 2.8 and I loved it. My other lenses got broke and I couldn't buy new ones so actually had it quite a while as my standard lens. And I was seriously happpy with it. So I can';t imagine how this 10mm will be. Laowa knows how to make lenses.
I was quite excited when I first heard about this lens but I'm far more impressed with the thumbnail to this video. That portrait is in a league of its own 😅
As a fellow Canadian male troubled with insecurity that I too mask with self-deprecation, I object to your perfect fingernails. After seeing them around minute two, I was completely incapable of doing anything else during the rest of your comprehensive review to but hope, but not hope, to see if you maybe cut one of them slightly off angle. It was only your tired, cliché "Asian woman with TTC transfer" shot that made me more disappointed. It's staggering that you got one of these lenses to review before official release. Kudos to Laowa for taking a chance.
Are you telling me Fuji didn't send you an X100VI? I was expecting a first impressions video? LOL! That's crazy wide, but the real estate photographers will love it. I liked it for the slow motion street crossing shot. Also looks great in general for vlogging. But, I like seeing the scenery where your walking.
So perfect, I have been waiting for this lens to be released as I can easily put filters on it, unlike the big Sony GMs. I sold my old favorite the Rokinon 12mm manual in expectation of this, thanks for the fun review. Lightroom probably will fix the vignette.
Thank you dude! Your lens reviews are the only ones that show true active use at extremes. i have no interest in using this for real estate or astro. but for events its gonna be wild! cant wait to have one !
More architectural vlogging, Kasey please. That diaporama section is hillarious and kind of a new concept. You should take pictures ironically like that more often.
With that minimum focus distance and the f2.8, this looks like a really good product photography lens, because that nikon zfc shot at 4:42 looks kinda cool and very unique.
Thank you for the review Kasey, this is a lens I'm actually interested in. Lightweight, reasonably bright. Too bad I bought the Sony 14mm not too long ago... Should I trade? Tough choice
I just picked up the RF 10-20 recently and I have gotta say, shooting at 10mm is quite something. Considering the Canon lens weighs less than 100 grams more and packs in zoom, super fast AF, and image stabilization, I would say we are truly in the era of phenomenal wide angle lenses. It does cost three times as much as the Laowa though haha. For people who previously used the 11-24, it is an excellent upgrade, but its not the most accessible lens.
For those tight spots it could be great, but being honest, that 10mm would sit on a shelf except for very specific shots. That being said, I love super wide shots.
The blue vignette was in opposite corners, not all 4 corners. I wonder if the non-clicky lens hood got on crooked? That happened to me once with an ultrawide lens.
This lens makes me pitch a massive tent! Its too bad i literally just bought a 35mm f1.4 last week 😢. I would have splurged in multiple ways and got this lens if i didnt get that 35 mil. I love your videos by the way!
I think you found (at least for the moment) close to the perfect lens for what you do. It's crazy the lens can keep the vertical lines straight for a 10mm, like it does as long as your not that close. This is one of your most interesting videos. Too bad you didn't get Tony Ns' face.
I love goofy wide, and goofy close. Ultrawides make the foreground the subject so it's fun. Laowa is good at those things lok, I'm interested knowing Laowa has this AF one now. The laowa I have is manual and a pain sometimes. That one is sharp to the corner, however the transition to out of focus gets this stretch blur stuff that makes it look like the corners are unsharp with the plane of focus being very curved. I wonder if they've improved that.
Hey ! Awesome review .. can you please remove the lens hood and check if the vignette is still visible ? (Might sound stupid but there's a tiny bit of chance that it is caused due to lens hood)
I love this, I've been thinking about ultra widespread for a while now, precisely for architectural shots 17mm os the widest I jave but it os a fisheye and not my favorite. Distortion free or rectilinear widespread have been ony list, TT Artosans has a 9mm and Laowa has this 10 and a 12. I'm impressed that it auto focusses. I'm guessing no offering for RF MOUNT . As for the pidgeon footage you're in search of there is a huge flock that feeds in the parking lot at V.P and Danforth. If you feed them they will come.
Looks like a nice lens, but I have a Fuji XH2s and I don't think they make it for that platform yet. I have a 10mm F2.0 Viltrox (manual focus) that fits my XH2s. the Viltrox is also rectilinear, and it gives the same kind of image as this Lawoa.
What about a comparison with the Sony 11mm f1.8? Or the Sony 10-18mm (or 10-20mm f4? As the owner of the Sony 10-18mm f4 OSS, that is something I would have considered, but the OSS would have tilted me towards that lens.
Thank you for your presentation, you don't speak about the two versions of this Laowa 10 mm: one with AF and 5 blades and the other without AF but with 14 blades. I think i prefer 14 blades for better out of focus and you ?
If you are looking for a wide lens to VLog with get the E 10-18mm f/4 OSS APS-C (15-27mm) that works in full frame mode 12mm to 18mm (18mm if you remove the light shield in the back) so you have 12mm to 27mm just assign a button for APS-C to Full Frame. small even also has threads for a filter.
Kasey, you should make a video about the mistake people make generalizing camera systems. For instance, just because the Canon R7 is Canon, it doesn’t mean that it is on the same league as the C70. Similarly, the Z30 cannot be compared to the Z8. It just bothers me sometimes when people write a blog or post a video about switching systems jumping from for example the Sony a6400 to Canon R5C thinking that that’s equal, saying “Oh Canon is just better” lol

Trouser-hangers have two clips typically strong enough to hold curtains closed
Can you get them to send you the manual focus version to test out the tonehature of the 14 blade aperture?
Love your clean room. So much 'breathing' space now
They are guilty having invented the nose touch AF - that's the end of human culture!
Why not give it to the dogs first????
The closeups were very funny, but the slo-mo bits were fantastic. The music was also very good.
Perfect for vlogging with the ZV-E1 and dynamic active stab (30%~ crop).
The fact that it takes filters ALONE makes it amazing. Rectilinear, full frame, autofocusing, full frame, and near-macro are all just cherries on top lol.
NGL that 18 looks very good for the chat format. Makes it feel more like we're sat across the table from a friend rather than in the lap of a maniac. 10/10 ✨
What an amazing lens! 10mm FF! Amazing that you are still in focus with your nose almost touching the hood. Of course, at that distance you look like a caricature of yourself. This lens should definitely be nominated for the Toneh Awards.
very cool humor, the part where you touched the lenshood with the nose was super awesome.
8:58 this lady just got put into a different dimension. She's seeing our world for the first time
The Deadly Premonition sound effect at 2:41 made me like you even more.
A man with taste.
This is one of your best videos I've seen!
Loved the music in the slo-mo segment. it was really visually and musically moving. the face close-up were absolutely hilarious. as good as you are, you are getting even better on all fronts. really inspiring man.
Active stabe looks so good on that, Holy crap. I wish I was more into vlogging, I'd have a use for it
I have a Sigma 10-20mm f.4 lens. Zoomed out on my Canon 5D, it could photograph an entire black hole from the event horizon. Super wide angle lenses are a lot of fun.
3:33 "Can my nose touch the lens hood?" 😂
That is a fine looking Toneh shirt Kasey. Very fine indeed.
I've had the Laowa 12mm 2.8 and I loved it. My other lenses got broke and I couldn't buy new ones so actually had it quite a while as my standard lens. And I was seriously happpy with it.
So I can';t imagine how this 10mm will be. Laowa knows how to make lenses.
i know this was silly on purpose, but man this is actually gear review at its finest. well done kasey
He's the best!
THIS IS THE GREATEST VLOG CHANNEL EVER MADE!! bar none!!!
Tony- “pfff 2.8 get that out of my face how dare you “
I like how the lens makes people look like a Dr. Seuss characters! As for the architectural photos, look great! Nice lens tbh. Thanks for sharing!
That was the best review in history of mankind
I was quite excited when I first heard about this lens but I'm far more impressed with the thumbnail to this video. That portrait is in a league of its own 😅

Love the Popeye forearm on the headstand pushup. Epic.
So perfect, I have been waiting for this lens to be released as I can easily put filters on it, unlike the big Sony GMs. I sold my old favorite the Rokinon 12mm manual in expectation of this, thanks for the fun review. Lightroom probably will fix the vignette.
Finally someone using UWA lenses how they are supposed to be used
Thank you dude! Your lens reviews are the only ones that show true active use at extremes. i have no interest in using this for real estate or astro. but for events its gonna be wild! cant wait to have one !
More architectural vlogging, Kasey please. That diaporama section is hillarious and kind of a new concept. You should take pictures ironically like that more often.
These reviews are both hilarious and very informative! And since we're talking about a 10mm lens, it couldn't have been any different. 😄
With that minimum focus distance and the f2.8, this looks like a really good product photography lens, because that nikon zfc shot at 4:42 looks kinda cool and very unique.
I’ve zero interest in cameras and things. I just come here when I feel very bad and want to experience some lightness 😊
I knew about this channel for a while. this video made me subscribe. good job
Great job on the video Kasey! Thanks for making it.
BEST REVIEW EVARRRRR!
"It's still focusing on my eye"
*nose touches front element*
No one mentions how amazing this lense would be for CAVING SPLUNKING that what's I'm going to buy it for! Long time fan.
Not just that, it has insane focus breathing performance!
3:40 was a perfect “is this good content?” moment. 😄
😂 just realized your Tshirt Tonéh
Awesome slow motion 👍
Thank you for the review Kasey, this is a lens I'm actually interested in. Lightweight, reasonably bright. Too bad I bought the Sony 14mm not too long ago... Should I trade? Tough choice
The MF Dical centre was the highlight of the video.
Must be French Canadian?🤔😄
THOSE ARCHITECTURAL VLOGGING SHOTS, WE WEREN'T PREPARED FOR THE GLORY KASEY!
thx for vertical/horizontal photo samples 👍 fun review as usual
Broadview and Danforth looks so different with this lens! Great video.
Broooo where can I get that jacket 👌
Imagin that on a zve1 with the dynamic stabe smoothness and crop applied 😮
Just imaging how close you were to these street randos makes me happy
Can't wait till they make an AF lens for us, Olympians 😍😍😍
That ultra wide angle surely has a cinematic quality.
I just picked up the RF 10-20 recently and I have gotta say, shooting at 10mm is quite something.

Man, you're helpful, informative and a great sense of humor :) Thank you for making my day!
Is this wider than a gopro or dji action FOV?
For those tight spots it could be great, but being honest, that 10mm would sit on a shelf except for very specific shots. That being said, I love super wide shots.
Love that lens SO MUCH!! Yes, it’s special! But it does an awesome Job!!!
8:38 It's a pro creepin' lens. Thanks man I've been on the hunt. God bless.
The blue vignette was in opposite corners, not all 4 corners. I wonder if the non-clicky lens hood got on crooked? That happened to me once with an ultrawide lens.
Not clicking the hood back in was foreshadowing to the "vignette".
Laowa is making some impressive glass lately.
I like your blackout burlap…Canadian Chic.
Cinematic masterpiece
Funhouse mirror on your camera!
I need this hilarity in my life.
If it gets any wider we'll begin to see the camera in the shot somehow.
This lens makes me pitch a massive tent! Its too bad i literally just bought a 35mm f1.4 last week 😢. I would have splurged in multiple ways and got this lens if i didnt get that 35 mil. I love your videos by the way!
10! Oh cool. Thanks for this.
‘Everywhere you go is an architectural moment’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your photo commentary voice makes me feel intellectual.
I bet Gordon would like this one!
I think you found (at least for the moment) close to the perfect lens for what you do. It's crazy the lens can keep the vertical lines straight for a 10mm, like it does as long as your not that close. This is one of your most interesting videos. Too bad you didn't get Tony Ns' face.
Slo-mo 10mm Kasey runs across the street to avoid getting hit by a vehicle that's 75 miles away!

I'm worried about you. I fear Tony is going to send a couple of friends to pay you a visit soon.
Never been so emotional since Blade Runner
8:00-10:00 is freaking cinema
Perfect Rap music video lens! ;)
I have a last generation Olympus 7-14mm. Wide angle lenses are always so fun to use😂
Looks like a nice lens, but I have a Fuji XH2s and I don't think they make it for that platform yet. I have a 10mm F2.0 Viltrox (manual focus) that fits my XH2s. the Viltrox is also rectilinear, and it gives the same kind of image as this Lawoa.
Funny that Christopher Frost posted this lense review 1hr ago as well. I'll watch his view of it after. He will always be second to you stranger 😉
Mesmerising
Did you have it in Active Stabilization or Dynamic Active? Curious to see how it looks with the 1.5x crop for vlogging purposes
Thanks for a good laugh! Clearly a fun lens
What about a comparison with the Sony 11mm f1.8? Or the Sony 10-18mm (or 10-20mm f4? As the owner of the Sony 10-18mm f4 OSS, that is something I would have considered, but the OSS would have tilted me towards that lens.
I lauguhed a lot in this episode. Great one!

OMG 3:49 is the funniest thing ive ever seen you do!!!!!😂
I clicked to see if it comes in Nikon Z mount. Yes it does, can’t wait to try it.
Also, your shirt is weirdly out of focus 😂.
Kasey, you should make a video about the mistake people make generalizing camera systems. For instance, just because the Canon R7 is Canon, it doesn’t mean that it is on the same league as the C70. Similarly, the Z30 cannot be compared to the Z8. It just bothers me sometimes when people write a blog or post a video about switching systems jumping from for example the Sony a6400 to Canon R5C thinking that that’s equal, saying “Oh Canon is just better” lol
To this day I still don't know what he asks us to do. "Subscribe for millisecondshendrix"? LOL
We're slowly transitioning into a photography channel, we're doomed.
The lines are so straight as well with the 10mm.
Awesome. Great fun watching and a big smile throughout! 😏
Finally you are selling all your Nikon gear 😅.
Im not into cameras much, but i like the humour 😂
@3:36 absolutely should have been the thumbnail.
Leaks in the lighting are available through the Window affiliate links.. 🎉 Thanks for the vid.. Stable, no vignetting, not warpy.. Im gonne buy it.. No camera needed.. Just see through the lens itselfs.. Then you have something..
The laowa 15 macro is one of the coolest lenses ever. You should play with it one day. It can focus down to shit touching the glass lol
so funny and comprehensive review
This lense would be cool for music videos
Can it do Toneh?
You took photos!!!
