Venus Optics 'Laowa' 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 FE lens review with samples (Full-frame & APS-C)

When this lens's development was first announced I got a little overexcited; and now my test results are finally here for the widest angle rectilinear lens I have ever tested. This 10-18mm lens is for full-frame cameras! It is currently only for Sony's mirrorless E-mount cameras (and as such, not adaptable onto digital SLRs). Let's see if the image quality can possibly defy its extreme parameters.
