Kai Wong Takes on The Fujinon MK 18-55mm

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 16, 2017

Kai is very impressed with the Fujinon MK 18-55mm and its bokeh, but he only had access to it for a very limited time. The only thing Kai thinks the lens should be penalized for at this time is only coming in E-mount. While will also be coming in X-mount Kai thinks it should also be released for Canon, but I think it would be better to release a PL mount lens.

By Louis Ferreira | Published: March 13, 2017

Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D
Laowa 15mm f/2 FE is currently the World’s Fastest 15mm rectilinear lens for Full Frame cameras. It features a close-to-zero optical distortion, allowing photographers to take landscape or architecture shots with straight lines retained.

Dedicated to fulfill the need of photographers, Venus Optics have managed to add a 72mm filter thread onto the 15mm f/2 lens. Photographers can easily install standard screw-in filters without paying for an expensive yet bulky filter holder system.

Designed specially for the Sony Full Frame Mirrorless cameras, Venus Optics has successfully controlled the size and weight of the lens to the minimal. Weighing less than 1.1 pounds (500g) and 82mm in length, the portability and compactness of the Sony E-mount Mirrorless cameras can be maintained when used with the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Lens.

Featuring the fastest f/2 aperture ever built with a 15mm lens, the new Full Frame E-mount lens is engineered for professionals to shoot impressive landscape, architecture and primary astro photos with great details. This is an every-day and must-buy lens that every Sony Full Frame Mirrorless camera user should have one in his bag.
