Was kinda surprised the Laowa 9mm didn't get a ton of hype, and now here's another 9mm!
hahah! Arthur yoiu made my day with the joke about the false real estate advertising! Great review as always. Cheers from Italy!
I love such lenses which absolutely go to the end of possibilities.
Like f0.95 lenses. You don't really need it, but you want it for playing around and learning.
My 14yo daughter has starting her manual control photography journey with my old nex-5n from 2012. That was such a great camera at the time. Giving her as many manual lenses as I can, but nothing wide so far. She'd love this one.
i love my 5n. i don’t use it much anymore, in favor of more modern models, but it started my collection with my a5100 and in my opinion it is amazing for beginners and even intermediate content creators/photographers. the only complaint i ever had was the overheating during video recording issue, but my nex6 fixed that.
It seems it would be a great lens to have for large real estate. For example, looking up at the Eiffel Tower, the coliseum in Rome, a Frank Gehry structure, a major league stadium or public sculptures.
Great viedo, Arthur. Nice lens too, that is amazingly wide! Not of interest to me as an APS-C user, but I'm sure someone will enjoy the gift from you. Keep the videos coming.
A fantastic lens to try super wide shots!
Lens would be perfect for taking pics of our grandchildren. Our apartment isn’t that big and my Sony 55 f/1.8 doesnt always work. Looking forward to many more of your informative and helpful videos in the new year.
A very interesting review as usual ❤ maybe it might be handy when using clear image zoom 🧐 thanks for the review!!
I would love to try some landscape photography with that lens
I think using this lens as a time-lapse video would be pretty amazing for road trips or city time-lapse. Thanks for the upload.
wow , those pics are gorgeous! i think it's so fun to shoot with this awesome wide lense
I was surprised that it's not a fisheye! (still in love with the 7artisans 7.5mm f2.8 for apsc)
Looks like a great lens for interiors and cityscapes.
As someone who works a lot with DJs and at Concerts sometimes even a 16 or 14mm isnt enough to capture a huge crowd so this would make an interesting lens for that kinda stuff
Interested in seeing what a catalyst stabilized video would look like!!
Appreciate all of your work, you really have helped me get a better understanding of my camera. Looking forward to your future posts.
Cool lens. Would love to try one of those super wide angles!
Brilliant lens! Back in the film days extreme wide angles were plagued with distortion which made them virtually unusable. At the edges of the frame the resolution was almost non-existent, it was like looking into the bottom of a milk bottle. You could find high quality extreme wide angles and you could buy one for about the cost of a house. The lack of distortion and great resolution of this lens blows my mind.
As someone who stitches together a lot of panoramas, this little thing is tempting.
Great review! Glad you explained the depth of field and focus for that lens.
I find these super ultrawide lenses to be really nice for video too! you get the fisheye focal length with the classic non distorted look
I’d love to use this for x-pan style compositions… The single shot “panorama” idea could make for some interesting photos with motion too
Very informative, great sample pics!
I've been looking at getting a Laowa for a while, it is nice to see more competition that may drive prices down. Similar to Laowa lenses this would be quite good for using on a drone.
Thanks to Mr.Arthur R for your support and help, Merry Christmas, and best of luck to everyone.🔥
Interesting, as a city planner, I find this lens can be very useful to provide context to a scene. It would be helpful to visualize the environment. This is similar to an architectural use, but with a different audience. The most interesting point you made was that you kept it wide open most of the time. Stopping down might increase sharpness, but it seems unnecessary. Good video.
I think I will try it out.
I'm new in photography, but I guess this lens is good for the astrophotography.
Thanks for all the your reviews and tips, it's so useful!
I have always been a wide angle shooter. So this sounds like something I will be giving serious consideration. As always your reviews are very informative, keep up the good work.
This would be a beautiful lens for me to use for my real estate video work. Bet it would make gorgeous footage with my A7IV in 4K 60. Amazing review as usual Arthur. Always been a huge fan and it’s awesome to see how far you’ve come over the years! Thanks so much for all you do.
Looks like a fun lens for some panoramic landscapes! Thanks for another informative review.
These manufacturers are doing a great job at making these types of lenses. Love it!
Awesome lens!
About 6 months ago I was looking for a good budget rectilinear lens but didn’t find much. Now all of a sudden we have three similar priced and similar construction 9mm rectilinear lenses.
$479 is a bit steep though considering it’s niche use case. A sale price of $379 would make it a solid buy.
Great video by the way! Short and to the point with no fluff!
Looks amazing and could be fun in a city situation.
Great video, as always. You are definitely my go-to reviewer for budget lenses, aps-c lenses, and small cameras. Thanks for all you do!
Impressive lens! Really good video as always, Arthur! Your reviews are a precious information source! Before buying a lens or a camera, I always watch your video about it!
I'd give a try with astrophotography with this lens! 📷🌠 Would be a struggle with its aperture, but still
I have this lens, and what I use it for is the inside of very tight spaces like interior shots of lighthouses. I am a lighthouse enthusiast, so when I'm shooting interiors, of say, a lantern room, this lens is perfect. Another thing I find it very useful for, is imagine that there is a scene that you want to photograph, but you just can't back away to fit everything in. This happened just the other day as I was photographing our town common decorated for the holidays. There is a Santa's workshop that is almost at the sidewalk. A 24mm just won't do because you would be in traffic trying to back up far enough. Not so with this 9mm. You can be right on top of a subject and still fit everything in the frame. I know it isn't for everyone, but I am a huge fan of anything extreme or different.
I have the lawoa 9mm for APSC. I actually like using it for tine lapses of sun rises and wide landscapes. But thats an f2.8 and apsc.
Fingers crossed! I think this would be exactly what I am looking for to make some forced perspective photos!
Using 10mm on APS-C. A lot of fun, but also a lot of distortion in images... Old lens. This looks amazing :)
Love 7Artisans and how they have affordable and creative sort of lenses. Usually pretty unique and manual focus. Kind of makes me feel connected to the camera and process of making art a bit more. Great video and thanks for making it; I had no idea about this lens until seeing this.
Impressive effects. Much better than my 16mm.
Dam, working with this focal length is tough. thanks for still reviewing it though, good to know it's out there.
I'd love to try this lens in abandoned buildings! Thanks for your videos over the years.
I think this would be great for street photography, being that wide you get some interesting shots I'd imagine, I think the 5.6 would be good too, nothing too crazy and the size looks pretty good for that use too.
Great review as always, would be a awesome lens for days when you just want to have a little fun with your photography.
Always love your comprehensive reviews, keep it up!
Nice shots! Always nice to have options and challenge yourself to be creative.
I have seen this lens on Amazon but was concerned about the manual focusing but thanks to your review, I am going to consider this for when I’m traveling to scenic locations. I may be one of the few people that uses panorama on my iPhone.
That’s incredibly wide! Even on apsc I don’t know what I would use it for, but the fotos look very unique.
Cool lens! Great video as always!
Ive had the venus optics 15mm macro F4 for years now, one of my best macrro lenses and ive done some great landscapes recently
Looks like a fun lens to play around with. Thanks For the review!
A lens like that is for novelty shots. If you shoot it every day in any capacity, you will get tired of it. But for fun and interesting special effects, it can be a blast on a short term basis. Similarly, I have an infrared converted camera. It makes fun, surrealistic pictures. But if you overdo it, you will get sick of them. The way I like to use an extremely wide lens (I have a full frame 14mm f2.8), is to get very close to my subject (near the minimum focusing distance). The distortion of fading back into the distance makes the image somewhat ghostly and memorable (a combination of infrared and ultra-wide is also very interesting). It is not for up close portraits of people, unless you want to have everyone emulate Pinocchio. There are some instances where they are a good fit for a landscape image. A fisheye lens is really less useful than a rectilinear lens, because people are not used to round images and the distortion near the edges is very extreme. Don't send me the lens, I don't need it. I only have APS-C for Sony anyway, and that would be a waste of that lens.
f5.6 is a good choice as it gives you similar light gathering to Fuji's f/3.5 8mm APS-C lens (just slightly worse) while giving you a much wider field of view of 6mm APS-C equivalent, crazy!
Another great review. Thanks!
I have used a Samyang 8mm on my A6500 and I love it. I find it much more useful that I expected to. I did buy it for indoor architectural photography (I like photographing churches and cathedrals) but it gets used outdoors in landscape settings too. You need to think a little carefully about composition and make sure you have some good foreground interest. I do like not having to think too much (or at all) about focus.
The 8mm (12mm full frame equivalent) has a field of view of 180° and I do have to make sure I don't get my feet in shot so I can't imagine what a 9mm full frame lens is like 😀 It is also f2.8 (I guess possible because it is for APS-C) which makes it better in lower light.
I would definitely recommend at least considering this 8mm if an APS-C ultra-wide is what you're looking for,,,
It would be great on nightscape landscape oriented timelapses, aimed either level with the horizon or pointed to zenith, with trees or structures close by to add a distorted effect.
Thanks for the review Arthur! Got the Sony A6700 based on your input in October over the past handful of months and find your apsc considerations invaluable, especially with lens like these. Keep it up!
Nice pictures and nice review!
This might also be a really cool lens for photogrammetry in tight indoor spaces!
Nice lens for interior photography, matching that up with a Sony can make a Hobbit Hole look like a great hall Minas Tirith
great video and a very interesting lens!!! i love it!!!
Very informative! I started this year with photography as a hobby and would like to try wide-angle lenses. As always, your videos are very well-produced, and everyone delivers the information I seek. You are my go-to source when looking for reviews on low-budget lenses. Keep up the great work!
What a really great lens; always appreciate your reviews 🤗!!
What a neat little lens! I've been looking more into wide angle lately, particularly the Viltrox 13mm 1.4. I tend to like primes outside of your traditional zoom range because it forces me to look with a different perspective and framing. Thanks for doing this giveaway! Happy holidays to you and your family
Great review! 👌💪
Great review, great channel. Would love to try this out on my a7c ii. Keep up the good work!
This lens would be great for some interesting creative portraiture.
Seems to be a great lens for interior architecture which is one of my personal topics. My widest lens is 12 mm so far and I'm curious to see the difference😂
Great Job, Arthur!
Ive been a big fan of my Irix 11mm f4 lens which is the widest FF lens availible for Nikon DSLR's. However, now I shoot Z mount I'd love to add this 9mm f5.6 and go even wider! 🙂
Incredible little lens! Wonder how it would do in a vlogging situation 🤔
Those Austin library shots ✨👏👏
Cool review, Arthur!
Looks like a neat lens!
I would love to test it out!
Very interesting lens, thanks for reviewing it Arthur! I'd say it's incredible for very wide landscapes. Would love to have this on my upcoming Indonesia trip! Another potential use would be to use this on a higher resolution sensor to shoot timelapses. Add some keyframes with reframing in post for dynamic movement, without the need to carry heavy equipment such as sliders or camera rotators. Amazing to see how many interesting full frame lenses are being developed these days. Cheers!
I’d like to do some portraits with this 9mm. That’d be a great challenge.
It's amazing that we are getting to the point of having these wide lenses on APS-C, and without it being a fisheye.
I'm still rocking a A6000, so it would be a sunlight time only for me haha At F5.6 I would be asking too much for the A6000 ISO
Well, I’d love to wine this for Christmas.
Thanks for the review and the chance.
Watching Arthur from the time when hea was technologymafia. My whole e mount experience from the time, I bought a6000 is majorly due to Arthur's review. Will definitely try this 9mm lens If I can get my hands on one. ❤ from 🇮🇳
I would use this lens for gimbal videography 😊
cool lens i would really love it. thanks for the review Arthur. looking forward for your next review!
WINNER WINNER! Congratulations! Let's get this thing shipped to you!
Yes thanks would love to
@@ArthurR winner winner chicken dinner! Thanks Arthur
Great review 👍🏻 I would use it for real estate photography. There the aperture isn’t a problem, using a tripod anyway.
Great straight forward review! Thank you, I have been curious about these ultra wides. I do real estate and commercial and was wondering if they would have quality to these budget friendly glass
Thanks for the chance to win this interesting lens! Merry Christmas!
Great video!
looks a great option for a ultra wide lens!
Perfect astro photography lens
Very interesting lens! I would gladly pay customs, should I be the lucky one!
And hey, keep up the excellent work! I have followed you for a couple of years now and you have not disappointed so far. Even though I evolved to FF, I still have loads of aps-c lenses.
i have the Laowa 9mm, love it. Use it for city scape.
OMG! I totally need to one to go full wide
Wow! Such an interesting lens. Would like to see what I can shoot with it!
I love a strict and fair lottery.
Cool lens!
Impressive lens. Very good wide angle lens from ttartisan.
I am headed to Rome in January and I am looking for a full frame wide angle lens. Thanks for another terrific video!
I’m surprised how clear this is on the edges. It would be fun to do some time lapse with that lens. ✌️
I think it could be a fun lens to walk around town doing time lapse with.
