Prem:I just wanted to share my travel film I made while I visited Japan earlier this year. I shot all 3 videos using the Panasonic GH5 with Leica 8-18mm, Voigtlander 25mm and Sigma 18-35mm lenses. Mostly handheld but I did use the Zhiyun Crane v2 for some shots. I have been an avid reader and follower of the website since GH4 was released. Excited to be part of this community.

Venusoptics will shows these three new MFT lenses at Photokina: 17mm f/1.8, 12mm f/1.8 and 4mm f/2.8!

Share

Well, Venusoptics is going to make us very happy at Photokina! These are the specs of the three new MFT lenses:

Laowa 17mm f/1.8 MFT

Laowa 17mm f/1.8 is a new compact, standard prime designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras and it gives a 35mm-equivalent field of view. The lens houses 9 elements in 7 groups and have a 5-blade aperture for the best sunstar rendering. The lens is extremely compact and lightweight, weighs only 160g (0.36lbs) and is 5cm (2”) long. A 46cm filter thread is included and the 15cm minimal focus distance make it a perfect lens for videography.

Laowa 12mm f/1.8 MFT

Laowa 12mm f/1.8 is a new compact, wide-angle prime for Micro Four Thirds cameras and it gives a 24mm-equivalent field of view. The ultra-fast f/1.8 aperture allows photographers to take astro photos with ease. The lens houses 13 elements in 10 groups and a 5-blade aperture. The lens can focus as close as 14cm (5.5”) and takes 46mm screw-in filters which gives extra convenience to videographers. It weighs only 165g (0.4 lbs) and its 5cm long (2”).

Laowa 4mm f/2.8 Fisheye MFT

Featuring a 210° angle of view, this lens delivers unique circular fisheye field of view on Micro four thirds cameras. The ultra-wide angle view allows photographers to create 360° panorama with ease. Despite the unique & ultra-wide perspective, the lens only weighs 0.3 pounds (135g).
