The LAWOA 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro Lens thread

2 years 7 months ago #723653 by Paul Iddon
As a recently approved ambassador for LAOWA Optics, they have kindly sent me their 15mm wide angle 1:1 macro lens to have a play with. These are the first pics I have edited with it.

It's a quirky lens (even has a shift function!) and is quite a challenge to use - the closest focussing distance has the subject almost touch the lens!

Being a wide angle lens, it gives a totally unique perspective which is both tough, but fun to use... Changing from f/4 to f/32 makes a huge difference to the BG...

It's good and sharp for macro too, considering its price, this is very good!

I like the berry image Paul. It looks like a nice optic. That said, I personally wouldn't get such an optic as WA isn't my forte...

Thanks gents.

It wouldn't be my go-to lens but it does offer some interesting compositions and would be fun to use.
