Laowa 24mm f/14 Relay 2x Macro Lens Specifications

Photorumors received some additional information about the Laowa 24mm f/14 Relay 2x Macro Lens. Unfortunately, this lens will not be native X-mount, but they will likely sell it with an adapter like the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra-Macro.

Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D vs Samyang 8mm F2.8 UMC Fisheye II First Look

I received my Laowa 9mm f/2.8 Zero-D the other day along with the welcome kit and it seems to be a well built light lens, but it has an extremely light feel to it compared to the Samyang 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye II that I usually use for wide photos. Both lenses are very similar in size, but […]
