Buying Our First Mirrorless G7 For Jewelry Work. Rep Recommended Laowa Lens, Wasn't Sure After Years Of Using Canon Elph. At First It Was Tricky, But This Lens Is Something Else. Simple To Use, Works Great And Once We Got The Right Aperture Vs Exposure, Pictures Started Rocking. Getting Better Every Day And Already Paying Off. Worth The Investment. About To Test A Simpler Lens (MK2) To Compare Results.
