Laowa 17mm f1.8 Review: The best lens for the price?

Scope out my work at www.hotkarlpro...
My movie: • Jason Rising: A Friday...
I do not make money from these links:
Non Cine Lens: www.venuslens....
Cine Lens: www.venuslens....
The price difference is $149 vs $399 with a hardshell case.

Nice work Karl! Sweet lens. Looked like a fun hike too!

I own a few lenses from Laowa., You really can't go wrong with how sharp their glass is all around. Great video and demonstration Karl!

That lens is fire! Reminds me of how cool the 25mm 1.7 Panasonic one is, versatile and doesn’t sacrifice. Great B-roll footage.

[@hotkarlproductions503]

Nice. And this is even wider which is a huge help for me

[@doityourself949]

@@hotkarlproductions503 yes, clearly. I’m going to pick on up. Love manual lenses.

Thank you for this video Karl. Lovely shots. I own the Oly 17mm f1.8 and the Lumix 20mm f1.8. Both are very complicated for video because the focus by wire. Might consider getting this one.

Nice shots. You were obviously using the BMPCC4K outside in sunlight. How do you set it up so you can actually see the screen?

[@hotkarlproductions503]

Great question - I haven't had MUCH of a problem except in extreme conditions. Typically just block it or sometimes "pray". If we know it's gonna be bad I'll bring an umbrella or something.

[@RuyLastra]

Wow! thank you. But what about infinity focus?

[@dissolution]

What do you mean? Infinity was great, no issues. Do you have a more specific question?

[@brikbravo]

Thanks bro 🙏🏻

Rest review! 🔥

Nice. We used a Laowa 14mm Macro in Jason Rising - and the famous PROBE lens in our movie.

[@tomngo422]

Does anyone have a problem putting this lens on the Blackmagic? (4k) I feel like it doesn't have a good fit for me.

[@dissolution]

No issues here - it’s a problem with some lens mounts. I know Sirui for one had lots of issues.

[@PakWidodo]

I thought it was Undertaker who did this review😂. Anyway nice review sir.

[@dissolution]

Hahah not the undertaker 🤣

[@katastoranimes5192]

in BMPCC 4K is a 35mm?

[@EthanShotz]

Great review! Will you buy one for me Karl?
