2016-12 : En Décembre, il y a de la fin du déstockage

Dustin Abbott a écrit:This is a very intriguing lens.  That extremely wide focal length is both challenging and yet inspiring.  Laowa has been able to engineer a lens with a fabulous build quality and compact size that I find personally very appealing.  They’ve also managed to minimize the potential optical shortcomings of such a lens and produce a very well rounded result.  The Zero D isn’t necessarily exceptional at any one thing save the incredibly low distortion, but neither is it bad in any area.  

Beyond that, I applaud the way that Laowa has already planned for expanding the usefulness of the lens by the additions of the filter holder and shift adapter.  This allows them to market the lens more effectively to landscape shooters along with those wanting such a lens for architecture.  The completely manual nature of the lens will limit its overall appeal (I know many photographers will not even consider a lens without autofocus), but the Zero D will be intriguing to others.  I do wonder how the market will react to the higher price tag of the lens, but the build and performance combine to make the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero D a solid value at its $999 USD price point.  I do think Venus Optics should be applauded for taking some risks and producing unique lenses that are far more than “budget alternatives” to first party lenses.  I wish them success!

Pour le Mitakon, je n'ai pas l'impression qu'il apporte grand chose versus le "bon vieux" Takumar "bayonet" 135/2.4 ... dont ma copie est excellente sur APS-C, et qu'il me faudra d'ailleurs enfin tester sur FF.
