Laowa 12mm.. Was just going to post one but I'm bored and this thread is far too asleep, so why not do a dump...

Very worthwhile dump! The two B&Ws of the water cascading down the steps are the winners for me.

I should be so skilled to have such images to "dump."

Wow. The black & whites really jump out. Water running down steps is so cool. Very creative.

Thanks for sharing,

I missed this first time round, every one of those is a winner imo, very talented. I have enough trouble with 12mm

Thanks! Love the L12 but haven't been using it much lately. These are from last year...

You have a good eye for wide angle, I like all your shots here. I always struggle but i'm now getting the message and snuggling up to the subject as demanded by the lens (Samy 14 mm, not 12 mm as I mis-typed).

+1 on that compliment. Excellent use of UWA.

I'll enter a minor complaint. 12mm on FF translates to 6mm on MFT, but the shortest rectilinear available for MFT is 7mm, and all frame-filling fish-eyes for MFT are at least 7mm. SFAIK the only lenses for MFT that would meet the 12mm FF equivalent or wider criterion are circular fish-eyes such as the Laowa 4mm. Posting images taken with such an optic would be out of character with other images posted on this thread, even were such an image thoroughly de-fished (they look, depending on your outlook/attitude, either weird or artsy)

K-1 II and Irix 11mm f/4.

Laowa 12 mm on my K-1

**WPRESTO** · 05-03-2021, 05:24 AM

Taken with my only MFT lens wide enough to qualify for this thread. 4.5mm circular fish-eye (210 degree sweep) on Pany GX8
