Thanks for the honest review. I like your realistic comments. I was curious to have an ultra ultra wide lens for ultra wide square compositions.
I think this lens would be perfect for that, as those extra stretched and vignetted left and right sides don't appeal to me. As a real estate photographer myself, I love the results from my Canon 17TSE and when I need to I do stitch 3 vertical images to give me a nice sort of 11mm image, but with more vertical height, giving me flexibility to crop the top or bottom for wide, or crop sides to give square with ceiling and floor details. This might be able to give that elusive square image in one click but with sufficient vertical details, or outdoors square image with the sun, all while keeping the camera level and keeping vertical line straight. Hmm. I agree though, it seems like a one trick pony, or maybe a 2 trick pony finally.
Wow every lens I come across you already have tested it. You work really hard. I hope you reach 100K soon
Thanks a lot!
I just pulled the trigger on this one. It seems promising for architectural and larger interior architectural spaces, cropping the images to make verticals vertical (starting with 61MP helps). I was considering this or the Laowa 15 mm shift lens (17mm shift lens is too $$$ plus it's not a lot better than the Laowa), but ti appears the 9mm will provide similar results (albeit with a few less pixels) than the 15 shift. I'm a little hesitant about the stretchy corners, but I think these will get cropped out most of the time.
9mm has got it's benefits when shooting architecture but it might make some building or smaller interiors looks warped if not careful
Thanks for the review, I found it really helpful. I've been eying this lens for awhile now, if it were less expensive I would definitely buy it but as it is the cost is hard to justify for such a specialized piece of gear. However, I do a lot of photography and video work in forests, where I often wish I had a wider angle of view.
I really liked your tutorial. I want to buy an ultra wide angle for my sony a7 III. I hesitate between this 9 mm Laowa and the 10 18 mm Laowa for its range; What do you think ?
both great lenses - only you can decide which one is right for you
@Pav SZ
Thank you for your honest review.
I think the Laowa 10-18mm is more interesting because of the variable zoom range and the fact that you can use 37mm ND filters ... for the same price.
for sure
It should be able to compete ..instead of a TS-E 17 AND 24MM with a high-res canera (say 60Mp) since I guess (wrongly?) that, set-up perpendicularely, then (even significantly) cropped (='shifted') it could remain sharper than a shifted TS-E, since, in my experience, ts-e need f11 absolutally in order to try hide their insufficient sharpness as soon as shifted...
No?
I literally have no idea what you are talking about. What is TS-E17?
@@PavSZ ts-e are the (famous) Tilt & Shift lenses by Canon (their code name).
There are the first and second generations (mark II, for some, like the Ts-E 24mm Mark II), ef, then even a third generation, wich are labeled Macro, ...
When I moved to sony I kept the 17mm and 24mm M II , used on Sigma MC11 adapter.
(The excellent 50 and the 100 I would use for tilt in fashion and art - but I don't. Did with their ts-e 45 in the 'old days.')
Nice review. Might work in the narrow streets of old European cities and villages in a quarky kind of way. Thanks.
thanks! It certainly does deliver a lot of quirky look
I really qould like someone to make a video where this lens's different shooting setups where doubled by nodal-rail(!!) vertical 14mm panorama (stiching) ending with the exact same cropping. (Never mind final MP-count).
you are talking about very niche use of a lens here. I can't see anyone making a specific video about doing that with this lens
@@PavSZ I'm enough full of myself to believe that if I did such a video it would indeed interest MANY.
you should do it
Images start at 2:05
so they do
Great review!! Thank you very much for the honest review. It seems an interesting option for, as you said, a very artistic look
Glad it was helpful!
Hi! Could please tell me if this lens works as full frame in a Sony a7II?
yes, it's a full frame lens
Is that a MÖG Trioplan showing soap bubbles?
Are you shooting wide angle 99% of the time? Show yourself! 😉
Wide angle shooters sound off!
🌠
thanks
8:05 Very Dr. Seuss...!
I'm not sure that I get the reference
@@PavSZ the perspective effect upon the cat looks like a Dr.Seuss character :)
So you dont know how to use the lens so its a "one-trick pony"? That is so silly and show your lack of experience.
Like for print)
say what?
I disagree - in the hands of a talented architectural photographer, this lens rocks! It is fabulous and engages the perspective of bringing two elevations together in one shot - especially great for videos. Your review is one of a sitting on the arse holding limited ability to comprehend ways and means to show-off architecture.
of course, I don't really know what I am doing. Sorry to offend you
I think you are both right.
