Amazing lens, a lot of distortion correction in post. Recommend getting a 10mm.

Amazingly compact and light. (This is very high on my list as I am transitioning to Sony for travel. Tamron Trinity + Sony 85 f/1.8 is my kit) Very sharp. Very little distortion (relative to incredibly wide 9mm) Also, it did not seem to be hypersensitive to not being held perfectly level, something that I was afraid might be a real problem. No AF is not really a problem at 9mm. Set for hyperfocal and fire away. If you are moving to macro distances, it will be obvious on the screen/finder that you need to refocus. Focus Peaking works fine on the Sony, but with such a deep DOF, I had to turn it off because most of the image was yellow. Cons: 5.6 is pretty slow for interior/night work. The IBS on the A7iii does a great job and I got perfectly sharp photos at 1/4sec which, in the absence of people, makes low light shooting at f/5.6 and ISO200 doable even without a tripod. Vignetting is very strong. The lens correction profile adds over 2 stops to the corners. (More on the profile below) That's not much of an issue unless you are shooting at ISO800+ to begin with, which ends up adding a LOT of noise to the corners. (A7iii) The usual no filter thread problem. There is a solution, but it's not exactly travel friendly when you are focused on small and light. Although it's not nearly as bad as the Fotodiox solution with my Nikon 14-24, However, I haven't actually been able to find the adapter for sale anywhere yet. Overall, this is a great little lens at a good price. Lightroom Lens Correction Profile: I found the Lightroom profile provided by Venus Optics actually over corrects both the vignette and distortion, for my taste anyway. You can tweak the values in the .lcp file for Lightroom to your liking. I went with 75% of their vignette correction. Or you can just adjust the vignette and distortion sliders in the lens correction box.

Take your photography to new heights with the Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL Lens for Leica L, the world's widest rectilinear lens designed specifically for full-frame cameras. This innovative lens boasts an impressive 135-degree angle of view, enabling you to effortlessly capture expansive landscapes, intricate architectural details, and spacious interior shots with unparalleled clarity and precision.
Constructed with two aspherical elements and two extra-low dispersion elements, this high-quality lens expertly minimizes chromatic aberrations and distortion, ensuring your images are always sharp and true to life. Despite its wide-angle capabilities, the lens maintains a compact design, measuring only 2.4 inches (6cm) in length and weighing a mere 12.3 oz. (350g), making it a reliable and portable addition to any photographer's kit.
The Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL Lens also features an extraordinarily close focusing distance of 4.72 inches (12cm), measured from the subject to the sensor. This unique feature allows photographers to create mini macro shots with an ultra-wide perspective, offering greater flexibility in composition and depth of field control.
The lens's 5-blade aperture system produces pleasing 10-point sunstars when the aperture is stopped down by just one stop, adding a captivating element to your images. The 135-degree angle of view also creates an exaggerated sense of space, making this lens particularly useful for interior photography.
Despite its ultra-wide angle of view, the lens is compatible with a 100mm filter holder, designed in collaboration with partners to ensure minimal vignetting. The body of the Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL Lens is meticulously crafted to enhance your user experience, making it a versatile, durable, and essential tool for any photography enthusiast.
