Out of all of the KZfaqrs that I watch, I like your photos the most. It’s not even close. James Popsis is the other KZfaqr that I watch to see their photos. Keep it up man.

Lovely review with beautiful sets of photographs and video samples. 👌 I bought this lens as soon it came out. Lovely and it replaced in major part the old zuiko 9-18 (clutch system broke 😢) and the 7-14. This tiny lens is uao. It does great photos with my Om5 .

Another great video, Pav.

What really impressed me was the stability of the handheld footage with the GH6. It looked like it was shot with a gimbal. I'm going to assume that you have good handheld technique!

Another great Vid dude!

A lens like this would perfectly suit shooting in art galleries and exhibitions, which are often low light, and benefit from being able to capture the sense of the exhibition space.

this looks like a beautiful little lens!

Looks like a great addition to a kit because of the reasonable price. I would love to use it and see what I could get with it. I like some of the shots you got with it. The statue photo was rad and the flower video shots near the end were cool too. It looks like it is a capable performer. Hopefully I will be able to add it to my collection.

Hi Superbe vidéo,you convinced me to purchase the S5 over GH6 after your Video of your favorite camera...and I don't regret at all with Blackmagic video assist the 5.9K image is amazing brawl Vlog is in pair with my 4K or 6K BMPCC Image quality and even In think more Dynamic range... Prawdopodobnie kupię ten Leica uwielbiam ultra wide więc ten 9mm w sam raz bezkonkurencyjny...bujam się jeszcze między MFT i FF...image of S5 is Amazing love the caméra ale szkło jest drogie w porównaniu do MFT i mam już kolekcje szkła na mft trio Speedmaster T1, parę dobrych Panasonic 2.8...i wszystkie manualne TT artisan... Pozdrawiam z Biel Szwajcarii Filip

Thanks mate 👍

Lovely shots, many show that Leica look where small details tend to pop out of the image giving a bit of a 3D look, eg the black and white building.

I've been using the(very excellent) 10-25mm/1.7 for a while, and recently decided to sell it once I realized that I was only shooting at one end(10mm) or the other(25mm), and almost never anything in between. Found some good deals on this 9mm/1.7 and the 25mm/1.4 and put the zoom up for sale. Not only do I expect to come out ahead on money and save some space and weight in my bag, but hopefully the 10-25 will go to someone who will really need/use the full range. Edit: I agree on the value of this lens 100%. I've spent some time with the Laowa 7.5mm in the past, and if you need the extra width, it's a great lens. I think for most people, this 9mm is a MUCH better value. Auto focus and weather sealing make it a winner in my mind.

nice!

GH6 handheld with this lens is stunning, gimbal like.

Great lens! How I wish it has an aperture ring like the 15mm.

Well that surprised me, a photo of the Guildhall in Derby, and then the Cathedral. Nobody ever really comes to Derby. Looks a decent little lens. One i'll definitely consider at some point.

Awesome video, as always. How are you enjoying the GH6?

so i recently dug my BMPCC OG out of an old camera bag, that stilly little thing just makes great images, but this lens just might be the thing to get me to use it even more (versus my S5).

Wonderful pictures.Did you do any postprocessing?

How well do you think this lens would work for video of artist painting? I have had trouble finding a lens that doesn’t have a lot of perspective distortion. Thank you.

Great stuff again, thanks! Does it vignette easy with a nd filter?

I like this review a lot and I just subscribed. But: how is a 9mm lens usable in Astro photography?

Great reviev - thank you - but one more question: Is it able to cover a total 90 degree horizontal angle of view ? Example: The camera is positioned in an 45 half angle in a corner of a room , hall or cross gangway. Do you see the left and the right wall ? I call it the 90 degree challenge

Interestingly as a long time both GH1,2,3,4,5 and S (5) Series shooter i am getting pressure to deliver 4k / 50 for real estate. The slow motion option is super handy in the edit. Which none of the S series do (they crop to apsc or you have to shoot 1080) My preference would strongly be to use the S5 because the image (and important dynamic range) is so VERY VERY nice. Unfortunately 9mm (18mm FF equiv) just isnt wide enough to create that feeling of large space. So i t looks like the Laowa 7.5 would have to be the go on GH series. But as always i would much prefer to use an affordable fast native prime - so please Panasonic or Leica can you make a 7mm? Otherwise i love everything that Panasonic gives us.

Thanks for the video. The Laowa 7.5mm f/2 has a lot of metal components but weighs 150 or 170 grams, depending on whether you get the auto-aperture lens or not, so it's not much heavier despite using metal. I'm guessing using metal in the chassis would have added to the price but they wanted to price it competitively with the Laowa UWA lenses, assuming good plastic is cheaper than good metal.

Thanks for the review, think you were an hour early.

Hi, does the lens profile works on raw files in LT and BlackMagic Pokcket 4K ? Or will I get huge distrosion ? Thanks!

Hello. Tell me how to use the lens at night, if there is no object on which you can focus? How to focus on infinity? Is this possible in my Olympus OM-D EM 1 Mark II camera?

Nice one! Is there a solution to step this lens up to Full Frame? I shoot on the s5.

Hi, I currently have a pen-f that I love and 2 objectives sigma 30mm 1,4 and the 45mm 1,8 olympus. As a budget I have 1300/1700 Euros and I am looking for one or 2 "definitive" objectives for the meantime (later you will see) that are capable of doing different types of photography ranging from weddings such as portraits even in low light, football matches mainly during the day and occasional landscapes.I am looking for objectives that are unique as compactness, performance and versatility compared to all systems photographic apsc, full, frame etc ... ...if I stay in the micro 4/3 I'm interested and I don't see real alternatives to the Om system / olympus 8-25mm, 12-100mm, 20mm 1,4 and last probably also Om lenses 40-150mm f4 or sigma 56mm 1,4. I am confused because if the 20mm 1,4 can replace my sigma 30mm in all ways, even as a bokeh, I would take it with my eyes closed. 12-100mm and these would also be useful for taking medium and long distance portraits of the spouses.If I really have to keep my pen-f with a single lens I would think of the 20mm or 15mm leica or the announced 9mm leica 1.7 ... or also have a second no micro 4/3 body with other lenses also used? Thanks.

If you have had the 15mm f1.7, would you get this lens as well???

Really bad noise-artifacts at 03:14, which camera?

Panasonic 9mm or 15mm 1,7?
