  1. Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D

    I purchased this lens not only for its' rectilinear & low distortion design but also for the curiosity of a "designed and made" in China lens. Good: * The construction, material, finish and handling in par with Leitz or Zeiss lenses. * It is close to zero in distortion. See 1st & 2nd photo. * Smallest, lighest and least expansive rectilinear UWA with f/2.8. * Impressive IQ from f/5.6 and above. Bad: * Extreme vignetting at f/2.8 on a FX D800. See 4th photo. * Overall soft IQ at f/2.8. See 3rd photo. Bottom line: * At f/2.8 or f/4, its' IQ cannot match the classic Nikkor 14-24 on FX or a Zeiss 12 mm Touit (see 5th photo) on mirroless, despite the shorter focal lenght & lower distortion.
