I have the 9mm f5.6 of 7Artisans. It is great as well and provides beautiful sunstars from f6.3 on. But the rear filter holder of the brightin star one is genius.
Probably the best 9mm lens I've seen, with minimal optical distortion that's not too distracting. It would be great for shooting car shots and other establishing scenes.
@@JoshCameron That was the first thing I thought! Plus, you can still achieve great results when re-framing for multiple deliverables. Great review, keep up the good work.
Have it, amazing lens, but a bit pricey. The key point about rear filter, if you tight it just a bit, oh man, it will be A HUGE PROBLEM to remove it, and you can't find a filter wrench that side. Almost damaged lens and filter while attempted to remove it. Be aware! (and now I have custom 3d printed wrench, they shoud include one). But overall quality construction and picture quality is great.
I have this lens and it's one of my favorites. Try walking down a hallway with it and it will knock your socks off. The way the walls close in on you is insane.
Laowa’s 9mm f5.6 been out a fair few years now for L Mount and is the same price. Think in terms of wide angle, trust them to optically get the best out of this focal range, but great to see more brands making L Mount glass in a broader range of focal lengths
Yeah there's actually a few out there now! I knew about Laowa's version, and they've also got the 10mm with AF now too! Want to get my hands on that :D
@@JoshCameron the 10mm is my fav wide angle lens to date. Sadly Leica haven’t opened up the Mount to Laowa for AF yet. But here’s hoping for the future. Would have thought with the knowledge in more niche focal ranges that they’d be a great brand to be part of the L-Mount alliance! Great vid btw dude.
@@CartyCantDance for which lens out of interest? If the case it’s sadly true for a lot of third party L Mount lenses at present. The Samyang 35-150 is a couple of hundred more for L-Mount
@@robertbeasley942 the Laowa 9mm f/5.6. I just looked it up bc of your comment. It’s $799 for l mount and $499 for e mount. I don’t care about the price difference normally, but this one was INSANE. I already have the 12mm f/2.8, so I don’t know if I need a 9mm, but it’s always fun to dream lol
I have been shooting with the Laowa 9mm f/5.6 for a few years now. I can't settle for any "telephoto" lenses like the 12-24mm f/2.8 or 10mm f/2.8 anymore.
What focal length is your camera bag missing?

What a lens Josh ! Thank for the discovery
Thanks for watching mate :)

@@Kashilembo I really want to attach this to a car rig at some point, would be great for cockpit shots :)

@@Kashilembo Exactly! Thank you mate, always appreciate you watching and engaging :)

I think you captured some great photos with this challenging lens.
@@JenniferKlinger thank you Jennifer, always a pleasure to hear from you :)

@@davidpossien3061 I’ve done this too! It looks so cool
Panasonic or Sigma needs to create a lens like this. Solid review.

Laowa’s is almost twice the price for L Mount. For e mount it’s cheaper 😢

It’s wide or nothing 🤣 that’s cool!
Mate you have the tidiest office ever!!!
The included rear lens ND is genius
@@MicroFourNerds It’s cool! I just wish they also provided/made ND’s that weren’t as intense!
@@JoshCameron It's 34mm standard filters Thick like polarizer will not fit, but regular 34mm are perfectly working.
That golf assist looked on-point with this lens. 😂🔥
@@Paramsinghmusic 😂😂
9mm is freaking crazy wow
Might be the lens for POV chest camera rig 👀
ure the goat L mount reviewer
Appreciate you!

Virtually everyone who loves ultra wide angle full frame lenses has heard of this lens.
First
I appreciate u
