Great review. I had the Laowa 9mm f2.8 ef-m lens on my old Canon M50. Passable combo for a beginner. It was by no means zero distortion as Laowa claimed. I now shoot with a Canon R50 and Nisi 9mm f2.8 RF manual lens. And the results are very good. But it bothers me to not see perfectly straight lines after reviewing my bracketed photos. Although 99% of this has been corrected in post and the results have been amazing. Still, you have me seriously considering the Laowa 9mm T2.9 RF lens again. I almost bought this instead of the Nisi 9mm, but the Laowa T2.9 at that time had some very negative reviews about extreme vignetting. The Nisi has this too but far less, and for the price point, it was the clear winner.
@AndreiRestrepo 3 ай бұрын
Thanks so much! Nice, I haven't used that lens! So you still see a little bit of barrel distortion? Yeah, crazy how this one doesn't whatsoever for how wide it is. Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo I never had the Laowa T2.9 Cine Lens, I had the Laowa 9mm F/2.8 lens on my old M50. When I upgraded from the Canon M50 to the R50, I was looking for a great lens for real estate, and it came down to the Laowa 9mm T2.9 vs the Nisi 9mm F/2.8 Back then several had mentioned harsh vignetting issues on the T2.9 I definitely want to see what results I can get with the T2.9, see if it matches or exceeds what I'm getting from the Nisi 9mm F/2.8, any distortion is corrected in post, so I'm very content with the professional results as are my clients. But this T2.9 has my interest.
@BurlapandLight 2 ай бұрын
Great lens. But the price is a bit much. But since it's Zero D I can see why. But looking at the 9mm T2.9 for now. I want to use my 7Artisans 12mm T2.9, but not sure of the distortion on it for RE videos.
@kevinschwebs1404 Ай бұрын
Hey Andrei, would you recommend 12mm for all video? Im looking at the Lumix GH5M2 (4k 60 uncropped).... Thanx
@AndreiRestrepo Ай бұрын
I would for RE video work, it' looks great! The only other thing to consider is a zoom lens where you aren't just fixed at 12mm. Depends on if you also shoot other type of work where I zoom lens would be more valuable. Thanks for watching!

Hey Sir... congrats on the video.. excellent.. i have an r5c and bought a Laowa 12 f2.8 (not T2.9) but I can't get really sharp footage. Even using 5.6 - 8.0 ...and my focus around infinity to 0.3.... I'm using a meike adaptor because it is a EF mount. correct explosion.. i really don't know what's happening .. but I never had sharp footage like my rf 14-35 f4.. can you help me with that? thank you
@AndreiRestrepo 15 күн бұрын
Hey! Hmm, really strange! The footage should be sharp. You can try turning focus peaking on to make sure everything is in focus. Also I zoom into the image to make sure it's in focus before taking the shot

Please suggest I want a blurry backround lens for my real estate videography where the host will move from room to room and describe the features of the house.
@AndreiRestrepo 2 ай бұрын
The wider the lens, the less noticeable depth of field you'll have. I normally use a 15-35 RF 2.8 lens and I'll film the real estate shots at 15mm and then talking parts at 24-35mm. Not as wide, more but noticeable blurry background. So a zoom lens with a wide aperture like 2.8 would be my suggestion!

Hey Andrei, quick newbie question. When I shot interior photos, the light bulbs always have scattering （looks like star....lol). Is it because of over exposure? aperture too big? shutter to slow? dirty lens? or does it have anything to do with environment too dark? Thank you so much. Also, do you think an older lens like Canon EFS 10-22 will still cut it in 2024 for real estate shots? cheers mate
@AndreiRestrepo 5 ай бұрын
Hey! I think that might be because you shutter is too long if I'm not mistaken. What was the shutter speed? I typically start with these settings - iso 400 or 800, f/8, 1/15 and not longer than .5 sec usually. Thanks for watching!
@meepleHQ 5 ай бұрын
Thank you buddy for the answer. I was doing interior in a darker environment. I think my shutter was 1/30 F3.5 iso800. Then I was trying different combination, still showing those scattering...maybe my lens just too old...lol @@AndreiRestrepo

what's the difference with this and the standand Laowa 12m 2.8?
@Michael-hj3nw 6 ай бұрын
also wondering
@AndreiRestrepo 5 ай бұрын
I personally haven't used the f/2.8 version which would be considered more of a standard photography lens. It has to do with this is made for cinema cameras and t/stops are more accurate for light transmissions, not just depth of field like f/stops. Thanks for watching!
@lifoxstudios2140 5 ай бұрын
The cine-version is actually based on the same optics as the standard Laowa 12mm 2.8. Thats the reason I may consider buying the photo version because it has an adapter for a 95mm Thread for ND Filters. Otherwise the cine-version clearly have advantages for filmmaking. It depends on if you really need the T-Stops, click-less iris and better housing.

I am using 24-70mm lens and realize it is not wide enough for real estate videos. DO you think this Laowa 12mm will help?
@AndreiRestrepo 4 ай бұрын
Yeah, unfortunately real estate is probably the only type of work that can’t be done on the 24-70! Great for detail shots though. Yes, 12-15mm would be ideal for real estate wide shots! Thanks for watching

Have you never shot a fully manual lens before? YIKES! Welcome to the party. You need to get yourself some vintage lenses and see what they can do. Its way too much fun to shoot like that. Anymore, that the only way I shoot at all. I literally have my Canon R7 sitting next to me as I type this and it has a Helios 44-2 58mm f2 Type 5 lens on it. While not a great RE lens, it has so many other creative uses. But like a lot of the lenses in my collection, you have to manually adjust the aperture and dial up your own focus. The trick is, just doing it over and over to get faster when shooting fully manual. I'm pretty good at it now. You just need to remember which way is close focus and which way is infinity. Because not all lenses are made the same. I have a bunch of different vintage lenses that I use. Even in the same brand, sometimes it changes from lens to lens. Same goes with the aperture ring. Most of the time f16 or f22 is on the left side and f1.4 or f2.8 is on the right, but not always. You will get better with it the more you do it. As an aside, I recently needed to use my Canon EF 24-70 f2.8L and I totally forgot how to adjust the aperture through the camera... Yeah... so that happened. Eventually I remembered how to use an auto-focus lens again. LMAO!
@AndreiRestrepo 6 ай бұрын
I just bought that same lens from a friend of mine, such a cool look it makes! Ya, never owned a fully MF lens, just used some here and there on set. That Helios is a lot of fun, gotta use it more! Thanks for watching

What is T2.9 ? Is that a different way of saying F2.9?
@AndreiRestrepo 6 ай бұрын
Hey! In short, the professional definition between the two is T-Stops are more accurate in terms of light transmission, f/stops are more accurate for depth of field calculation. Really similar but more accurate since it’s a cinema lens. Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo Ha. yes, now I recall T stops.. DUH! That was a long time ago they were referred to that. Nice work Andrei
