Follow Up: TTArtisan 11mm f/2.8 Lens.

I recently wrote a post about the <inhales deeply> Venus Optics Laowa 10mm f/2.8 Zero-D FF Autofocus Lens.

Quick recap:

I want one.

I will not be getting one.

There is another lens I already have that fills the occasional wide angle need.

Two perks were pointed out.

• It costs considerably less new and if memory serves I bought mine used so I saved more.
  • One might raise the point about AF but the MF variant costs the same.
• It is also a fisheye lens.

While not a rectilinear lens appropriate use of the Lightroom stick, aka the Rokinon 7.5 Fisheye lens profile in this case, is good for a quick de-fisheye.

…can be turned into a reasonable facsimile of a rectilinear image.

At the conclusion of that post I stated:

I really need to get the TTArtisan out and take it for a spin.

And I did exactly that. Here are the results from a quick drive.

First a quick test.

So… Do I still want the Laowa? Yes.

But for now, I am good.

Happy capturing.
