A: What sets the Venus Optics Laowa 100mm T2.9 2x Macro APO FF Cine Lens (Sony E) apart from the Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E is that the housing is much more durable with a front mount designed for clamp on matte boxes, the aperture is declicked and measured in T-stops rather than F-stops for the most accurate representation of the light transference of the lens and the filter size on the front is 77mm rather than 67mm.

[T1] The r5 makes manual focus so incredibly easy, I can confidently capture bride groom portraits with ease and know they're in focus. The bokeh has a vintage reminiscence to it which I absolutely love 5

Lance	09/09/2024
[T1] Not for everyone, as they say, but surprisingly good for the price for what it is. If you want it for super thin depth of field and creamy smooth bokeh you may be happy. Stopped down, sharpness is good, especially in the center. Works very well for urban scenes at night as well and keeps the ISO down. At the current price of $650 I'm very pleased, but at list of $999 maybe less so. If you want an all around 35mm there are better choices, mostly slower by a stop or more, but then with AF or at greater expense. Beautifully built as well. 5

[1:0.11] Best 5

[15] If you are not looking for perfection at this price, but a special way of rendering the world, you have a winner with this lens. I take any chance to slow down and to become more creative. 5

[77 mm] for shooting northern lights this is great. this is the widest lens for fullframe sensor at F0.95 . I shoot northern lights realtime video with this baby, handheld thanks to IBIS, And even photo of northern lights , handheld - no tripod , at 1/5 sec shutter thanks to IBIS ... for portrait work the 45mm f/0.95 is probably better but for wider sky view this is a great lens . 5

[1:0.11] This lens has stayed on my z50 since I got it about a month ago and think it will continue to stay there. I love the razor thin focus, the bokeh, the lens flare. I like the price and that it’s equivalent to a 50mm on a full frame camera. Since it’s manual, It’s not for everyone and every situation, but it’s really nice for more mindful photography. 5

[43.3 mm] SO GOOD 5

[15] Just have to say this is an incredible lens. First one I received did not have the proper line on it, second one was absolutely perfect and the focus distance markings were exact. Years ago it would have been impossible to buy a lens like this for less than 30k, or 10k. Look up some videos on it to confirm how incredible it is. Large format look on an S35 sensor. Great feeling quality. I have used 50k Cooke lenses, this is a great quality lens from Mitakon. 5
