So /p/, are you planning on getting one? http://petapixel.c

I love Laowa. Those crazy chinks are doing some really innovative stuff in macro photography.

>>2932233
True. The 15mm macro is wonderful.

>>2932238
>>2932233
I wasn't even aware of them; I don't really do much macro and don't even have a macro lens, but after seeing some samples from the 15mm I really want to pick one up. Seems like a really fun lens.

>>2932239
Same happened to me.
I was all about street and portrait, then my girlfriend gathered money from my relatives and friends and gave me a sigma 105 f2.8 1:1 macro.

Awesome for portrait, but holy crap macro is just so fun. Even the spiderweb at the corner of your room can look interesting.

That's a repurposed endoscopic lens, isn't it.

I swear that middle light is the same as those cheap IKEA bendy lights.

>>2932276
Probably. Cheap chink shit uses the same components as each other a lot.

I can already see this in some japanese porn where the guy takes photos from inside the girl's vagina.

>>2932301
That's already a thing.

>>2932231
This kind of lens was used here:

I say it has potential

Finally. A way to get a colonoscopy without health insurance.

>4' long lens
>2:1 magnification
Can't I just get a 1:1 macro for meme43 instead?

>>2932265
I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going.

That's pretty funny looking. It will be great for people who work in the field but not for the stuff I do. I really want that 15mm macro though.

>>2932231
I'm worried about how not robust that lens might be.

But it seems like a cool idea if it works.

this made my day

>>2932248
What do you do for lighting?

>>2932989
Expensive way: ring flashes or sets or two strobes, diffused and/or bounced.

Cheap way: get yourself a shitload og LEDs with a colour temperature between 3000 and 3500 kelvin, connect them using paralel wiring and build yourself an illumination set with a plastic container.
Use AA rechargeable batteries for the power input.

I find their lack of sample shots disturbing
