Sweet lens, full sky and quick enough for astro

Nice look, works well edge to edge; all 210 degrees

Nice addition to the camera bag

Fun lens and very high quality for a ridiculously low price. Very enjoyable to play with -- after all, photography should be fun, too. Manual operation is a piece of cake on the Fujifilm X-T4 and with a DoF this large pretty much everything is in focus anyway. Highly recommended as a way to push one's personal envelope a bit and to see in a different way.

Not bad for the price, but could be better

almost impossible to use without getting your feet and fingers in the photo. Auto focus would have been nice as well

Lens doesn't fit my camera

It doesn't fit a canon t5i. The diameter is too small.

Excellent lens for the price.

We are interested in the lens because we want to0 use it, and to fly it on a balloon.The lens seems to have tested to be an excellent candidate in this. This lens seems of excellent quality with adequate focus over from the center to edge of the lens. However, if one were available we would like one of the same configuration and image size, but with an F1.4 focal ratio. If we had that we would certainly pay 4 times as much, commensurate with the 4 times increase in light throughput even if this compromised the focus somewhat.

Fisheye fun

looks to be well built. Lots of fun to use. It takes some work to learn to use any fisheye well. Very inexpensive. Great to have for occasional use or for a special project.

Laowa 4mm

For the money, this is a great addition to MFT. There is a little bit of clipping at the top and bottom of the image. I get around that by doing a slight circular crop in Affinity Photo. Decent image quality but you also have to be very careful to keep fingers, arms, legs etc out of the frame! It will also show a grip if you have one, including the EM1 MKii grip. This is again taken care of by just a slight crop.
