No tripod collars on the tube seems to be a giant oversight.

The Chinese official site suggests it will be L-mount. https://www.laowalens.com/camera-lens-63

I was tracking down a lens of a full set that is no longer made by the manufacture. The original price of the lens is not exactly cheap and it is rare. The seller on eBay had only a few review and located in in the middle of nowhere in Russian farmland.... And I was irrational enough to click that b...

I just bought something on eBay from the UK. Seller has to fill a form to put his passport number and my social on it. The seller understandably left it black at my request. Now I had to get through ups useless automated phone system which had no way to get to the international brokerage service and...

Matter of fact I was complaining to the Germany headquarter that their us distributor is not doing a good job of listing and stocking everything the German site offers. Few weeks later here we are. I don’t have...

Long shot but do you have anything close to 500mm TL to try? I am very curious on performance on medium format sensor which they claim to offer. I understand it is probably outside the typical parameter of your testing gears

Canon mpe didn’t work. Laowa 2x ef mount didnt work. Canon zoom and wide angle l series worked.

On the other hand, I have seen report where the failed lens above worked in S1R. So your mileage might vary.

Good luck

As someone who have handled both SL2, S1R and X1D by non trivial amount, I would say that I would say that sl2 and x1d mk2 inspire me to take photos more so than s1r, while s1r is a very feature complete camera. X1D has no IBIS and the system is generally slow with some rough edges in software, whil...

This might help

I have a Hassy x1d mk2, and tried to look into high mag solution. It gets expensive pretty quickly. First there is no one making x1d adaptors of any sort unless you adaptor down to full frame DSLR mount. Canon ef mount might be close enough. Then it is hard to find tube that is wide enough for the m...
