This is a great lens for wide angle macro... Iv even managed to use diffused flash with it for working at low light & night macro photography.

Really good review of these UFO lens like some of Laowa products. One of the most interesting fact about this lens is the possibility to play with the Hyperfocal. Because it is an extremely short angle of you have a table with hyperfocal distances you can play with it and discover the pleasure to shoot with an almost infinite depth of field. It is like this I shoot many times because it is so fun to use a ultra wide angle on hyperfocal, and when you have true macro possibility added, it is a cheery on the cake.

This video was the final straw, I just ordered one.

Great video Neil ! I would like to ask your opinion between this lens which is true 1:1 macro and for example the Laowa 15mm F2 ZD which is not true macro (only 1:4), but has better optic quality and opens wider (can be useful for astro), and has a decent minimum focus distance (15 cm). Regarding the fact you found better to use this lense further than 1:1 ratio, would the 15mm f2 be enough, or you would miss the intermediate working distance ?

Hi Neil, thank you for the great education as always! I use several different camera systems for my filmmaking work and I wonder what if I use EF version to E mount with an adapter. Does it still do 1:1 practically? Or would I have to lower the ratio to have enough working distance? Hope that I make sense here.

Right?

Very well done and informative. How did you get so close to frogs without having them jump away. Question- When I am in a heavy green setting like the PNW browns come out purple. Purple pathways, and tree bark. Is that a WB setting that is off. How to correct. Happens on iPhone and Nikon Z50

@neilfisher

4 жыл бұрын

Thanks @Ivan H 👍 Approaching frogs without them moving away can be very tricky and requires heaps of patience. I also find it helps to shoot with a polarizer, so that the front of the lens is replaced with a black surface instead of a giant eye like element. Dressing with neutral colours also helps. The predominately green colouration of the PNW can easily overwhelm a camera's auto white balance. Which is why it's important to shoot with manual white balance - either using a white card for a reference shot, or by dialing in a specific colour temperature. Hope this helps 👍👍👍

This lens might be a good choice for the task, as it would allow for a wide enough field of view to capture the needle's motion, the ink already put down, and the artist working. Having said that, its focal length might be a bit too wide - though it's hard to say.

Any thoughts on using the Canon 17-40mm L series Wide Angle with an extension tube?

@neilfisher

4 жыл бұрын

@Rajat it's not a bad combination to consider. Using a 12mm extension tube wouldn't rob the lens of too much light and would give it a magnification near 0.4. It wouldn't be able to focus to infinity, though that really shouldn't be overly important is you're trying to shoot macro subjects. Definitely worth a bit more investigation, but it's something I'm considering with a 16-35mm 👍👍👍

@EagleAPI both of the lenses you mention are fisheye, whereas the Laowa 15mm is not a fisheye lens. So, I don't think it would be fair to compare these lenses as they're incredibly different. Additionally, the Canon EF8-15mm f/4.0L and Sigma 15mm f/2.8 are not macro lens: they can not produce 1:1 magnification. If you're simply looking for a wide-angle lens, you first need to question whether you're alright using a fisheye lens that creates such dramatic distortion? Otherwise, you should be looking at wide-angle lenses that are rectilinear. Hope this helps 👍👍👍

@Caroline Tudor, this is a question that keeps me awake at night. There are certainly specific species that are sensitive to any amount of light, regardless of duration or intensity. However, from the research I've done and the experts I've spoken with, the majority of amphibians are not overly sensitive to short, low intensity exposure to light. Having spent considerable time working with amphibians, I've gained valuable experiences in identifying behaviours and characteristics commonly associated with stress in amphibians. I've certainly witnessed amphibians become stressed when suddenly exposed to constant bright light used while capturing video. The best practice for using bright lights with amphibians to capture video, is to slowly increase the brightness - allowing the animal time to gradually acclimate to the light 👍👍👍
