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

F11 1/60 ISO: 100

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 .

F11 1/25 ISO: 200

A dead June bug on the balcony perfect to test ...

F11 1/40 ISO: 200

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 .

F11 1/25 ISO: 200

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

F8 1/8 ISO: 250

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.

the only problem is my semi standard flash option ... the light doesn't get close enough to the lens in macro 0:5 but we will solve that issue as we have done so before with other lenses .

That’s a shame. But like you say. I am sure you figure it out.
Fijne avond!

Hahaha, I think cats can be ~~naughty~~ regardless of their gender :p

Cool, looking forward to seeing your today's shots. Btw, will there be another colour contest in Photo-essay? Like monthly theme/colour?

i still need to pick a winner for last contest , but yes i want to keep it alive but due to heat and and personal problems i haven't been able to setup the new one . I was a bit dissapointed to see a lot of last minute joiners with rushed photos .
