Thanks for taking a look. Yes, I'm happy to see the results also, I ended up buying the Laowa 100 from the owner after the test.kaleun96 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 7:03 amGreat test and write-up Robert, I had been waiting for this one! I'm pleased to see I can stick with my Laowa and not bother chasing any further improvements on optical quality at 2x for the time-being. I've been using this lens for about two and a bit years now and it has performed wonderfully, I just wish the Sony version had electrical contacts for aperture and EXIF.
BTW. Last night I added LoCA test results also and the Laowa had just a slight amount of yellow-blue LoCAs. Very minimal, impossible to see in normal macro images I think.
Yes, right about the lack of contacts. I've been shooting with too many lenses lately and I was thinking of the Irix 150 when I though the Laowa had the contacts, so when I went to the Laowa files to look up the f-stops, the EXIF was missing! Good thing I caught that early so I was able to file the images properly. Otherwise I would have had to file them by timestamp or re-shoot!
Also I tested the 2.5x Laowa 25mm night before last, a good performer also, not as good as the 100 but very good for the price, results coming soon!
Best,
Robert
