Venus Optics Laowa 10mm T2.9 Zero-D VV Reviews
Fantastic Lens
By Gabe
Rated 5 out of 5

This lens is super interesting and really makes any shot stand out. Great for real estate, great for getting creative, great for larger than life moments.
The minimum focus distance is incredible with the fact that your subject can practically touch the lens. If you use the Tilta MB-T12 Matte box, you can actually get away with not seeing the edges of the box in the frame (if the box is on straight and level). If you ask me, get all of your lenses for standard focal length and situations and then make this your first "creative" lens. It's something special.
