Lens
Orderd in May came yesterday.
opening the box ...
it seems there are stil companies that use plastic as filling material ..
Sorry i don't use those websites .
We have Hive 😎
small damage on the box let's hope the lens is ok
yes the Laowa Full Frame 15mm f4.5 wide angle Macro 1:2 , but wait wasn't macro 1:1 ? Yes normally macro is 1:1 minimum
and another box ....
finally there is the lens in a plastic bag ..
and there it is mounted on the camera
All the above photos were created with my mobile phone .
The photos below are created with the Sony A7II + Laowa FF 15mm f4.5 wide angle Macro 1:2
Time to test the lens , since we were in the middle of a heat wave here in Holland i had to try things inside the house.
a pot with pencils
Our living room curtains closed to keep the heat out , almost no distortion .
F8 1/60 ISO: 100
This morning i tried some pictures on the bacony before the heat was back again 08:00, i used the Godox LED light instead of the flash .
A dead June bug on the balcony perfect to test ...
to show you how sharp the lens really is , here is the crop of that bug
scabiosa flower on the balcony , sharpness on the flower and still able to show soime of the surrounding area .
Another characteristic of this lens are sunstars
F11 1/160 ISO: 200
Our indoor garden of the appartment building
F4.5 1/800 ISO: 200
and finally the queen of the balcony Jinx
I'm looking forward on experimenting outside with this lens, starting tomorrow we will have normal temperatures again for Holland .
Time to gear up and get going, put on the walking shoes and discover my new living area with this new lens.
