Laowa decided to produce a very interesiting device – they risked a lot but the risk paid off and, once again, that innovative company can be called a winner. I am happy for two reasons: firstly, because the lens proved to be a hit and secondly, because while testing such an untypical isntrument I enjoyed myself enormously.
