  • This is Laowas newest M-mount lens. And unlike the earlier wide angles for the format it has a fast f2 aperture. Rangefinder coupled of course!

    As Pentaxians will know, 15mm is such a nice focal length on APS-C. Looks like it'd be a bunch of fun with the Pixii.

    Hey Mattias, I think a camera particularly you will appreciate is the Panasonic S1. Image quality, high ISO, build, screens are all amazingly ahead of their time. And it’s an absolute bargain these days. Also the L mount is very vast now.

    Nice to see the GFX 50R; I wanted a Pixii so bad but ended up with an 50R when I found one "bargain" quality used for super cheap that works like new. Never was a fan of ultra-wide focal lengths, the PanaLeica 15mm on MFT is pushing it for me at 30mm equivalent. This would be what, ~23mm on a Pixii? I know a lot of people swear by 24 and 28mm, maybe I'll give it a go again with 8:3 crop since I prefer that over 65:24 of xpan (it's like 64:24 compared to 65:24, but my favorite aspect ratio is 4:3 and it feels better, that or 21:9).

    I have their 6mm lens for MFT. And it's quite something. I recently got to use it for some 360° panoramas but that's a skill I need to learn and improve a lot.
    What I dislike is the included lens cap. I got the cine version and it comes in a nice pelican case... But the lens cap just falls off. It's not magnetic or screwed.

      I still use it a bit. Wide open close up it’s needed. But I often zone focus and use the viewfinder as a guide.

      Pixii uses raw DNGs so all software that can process raw can use it.
