LAOWA Venus 17mm f/1

It’s easy to focus, produces nice colors, a bit of barrel distortion in some situations, but i can deal with it.

I use this with the zcam e2. This looks great on this camera. I was surprised with the clarity, even at 1. Really good product at a low price point.

Slight distortion that is easy to correct, if desired. Flange distance may not be accurate, for focusing to infinity on the barrel and then taking a photo doesn’t give me infinity. Have to focus just 1-2mm below that marker. Good build quality, great value.

I’ve used dozens of lenses on micro four thirds, and this immediately became one of my favorites. It would be a great lens even at twice the cost. It’s small, light, and feels well built. Comes with a little lens hood.

Incredibly solid build quality. Use focus peaking and not markings for distance (everyone should do this anyway). I’m impressed by the sharp images in photo and video mode on my gh5. Great color with little distortion. Great every day manual lens. Laowa is a true contender in lower cost high quality lenses. I prefer them over the plastic panasonic lenses. If you’re u sure, just buy it. You won’t be disappointed.

The Laowa 17mm f/1.8 for Micro Four Thirds (M43) cameras. It is the 4th wide angle lens that LAOWA has designed for MFT mirrorless cameras, following the success of their ultra-wide 7.5mm f/2, 9mm f/2.8 and 4mm f/2.8 fisheye lenses. The LAOWA 17mm is equivalent to a 34mm angle of view on a full-frame sensor. The lens houses nine elements in seven groups, and has a seven-blade diaphragm to give a pleasing sunstar rendering. The lens is compact and weighs just 6oz (172g). It has a minimum focus distance of 5.9 inches/15cm from the sensor and has a 46mm filter thread. Weighting only 6oz (172g), this remarkably light, compact and agile lens serves as the perfect complement to MFT cameras. It is a great tool for still-lifes, close-ups, street and travel photography and should be in every photographers’ kit bag. An ultra-fast f/1.8 maximum aperture not only creates smooth bokeh with its rounded 7blade diaphragm, but also offers great low-light performance. Despite the f/1.8 fast aperture, sharp and high-contrast images can be captured at any aperture – even wide open! It is an ideal lens for portraits, groups, landscapes, travel and all-purpose imagingThis lens has a 5.9” (15cm) minimum focusing distance that greatly benefits shooting details and smaller subjects. Photographers can make use of the “Mini-macro” feature to capture close-up shots with shallower depth of field, creating smooth outof-focus renderings and impressive subject separation from the background. light body, the 17mm f/1.8 lens is a portable, on-the-go option for videographers – both handheld and on gimbals. The high-performance optical design incorporates one ED (extra-low dispersion) glass element that delivers high-definition images while minimizing ghosting and flare, broadening your shooting potential in challenging situations.Box Contains
