E-mount exclusive Focus tab on the E-mount version There is no filter thread but a 100mm filter holder is available directly from Laowa, more on that at the end of this chapter. This won’t bother the most of you, but it kinda spoils the whole picture for me. I was a bit surprised that – despite incorporating a very complex floating elements design – the click stops are not equidistant. The aperture ring has full-stop click stops and travels ~80° from f/5.6 to f/22. The focus ring has perfect resistance and travels roughly 100° from the minimum focus distance (0.12 m) to infinity. The lens looks and feels like it is an all metal construction, all the markings are engravend and filled with paint and the new laser engraved Laowa logo on the non removable hood looks pretty cool, too. The Laowa lenses always gave the impression of high build quality but I have the feeling they are still trying to improve. You can already order the lens directly from the manufacturer’s homepage, B&H or / for $899 (M-mount) and $799 (E/Z/L-mount) (affiliate links)Īt the wide end a millimeter makes a big difference, so this Laowa 9mm 5.6 is noticeably wider than the Voigtlander 10mm 5.6, more than the numbers may suggest. Number of Aperture Blades: 5 (straight)īecause of the different flange focal distance of Leica M cameras the M-mount version is a bit shorter (66 mm) and also a bit lighter (350g) the other specs are the same.Filter Diameter: – (100 mm holder will be available).These are the specs of the E-mount version: I had a look at the E-mount and M-mount versions. This is a one of a kind lens, there has not been a 9mm lens before! So far it comes for Sony E-mount, Leica-M mount, L-mount and Nikon Z. After finishing the review I bought a Leica-M sample and have been using it since. The Laowa 9mm 5.6 FF-RL was kindly provided free of charge by Venus Optics / Laowa for reviewing purpose for a few weeks. infinity (42mp Sony A7rII, M-mount version).infinity (42mp Sony A7rII, E-mount version).
