Double Wide Counter Depth Fridge

I was in to purchase a 15mm, 2.8 Laowa Venus Lens, a wide lens to landscape and taking all a museum piece from a small distance. I have researched the Laowa Venus 15mm 2.8 lens for my Sony a7iii. It seemed the right choice. The counter salesman (very helpful and awesome attendant) got out from his desk computer a lens that seemed my choice but was a 100 bucks more pricey. Well that seemed wrong, but ... which one was that (?) a Laowa 12 mm 2.8 ? Hey, wait, more aperture for a 100 bucks more. Well it's...a good idea, isn't it? So I took it with in. And ... I just enjoyed it (another positive point to you, counter guy). My Best pictures , ever, of: The Metropolitan Museum (The Met),The Brooklin Bridge, The Atlas Statue at the Rockefeller Center, wow, and many more, within great quality, a good amount of lighting in, and minimum distortortion. Believe me, if you want an full frame E mount (FE) wide angle this is it : this is the right choice. ----about the author: advanced amateur photographer and B&H addicted.

I took my time to square this 350-1 Logan Mat cutter with the help from a new carpenters square from HD when I first received it. I then followed the Logan video on yt on how to cut a a double mat. So my first double mat in 20 years came out perfect. I used my old Logan 3000 Pro Am cutter (pull style) with the nylon guide rails on the cutter I installed. It worked perfect because I remembered to use a slip sheet, a brand new Logan blade, and carefully set the depth of cut just deeper than my 4 ply mat board depth. I store this cutting board in the original box, flat on the floor, when not is use to avoid warping the MDF baseboard.

This stand was better than expected. The legs spread very wide which makes it quite stable with a 42 reflector, even without using a counter balance. It meets my needs admirably and with minimal cost.

I am using the lens for more than 6 months on my Leica M6 now, so I am not a pixel counter. I just love it shooting it wide open. The colors and the bokeh are a dream. On film, the lens is super sharp. I also never had a problem with the shifting focus described in other reviews. I never had a 50mm summilux, so I can’t compare. But I use this combined with a 90mm summicron and wouldn’t want to give it back. This lens really has a character that’s suits me very well.

I use it with my prime lenses to shoot wide open and get a very small depth of field..

This lens gives you a very sharp image and is wide enough to create depth and layers in your photos.

Wide angle lenses are my favorite because it allows great depth of field especially for street photography. The 16mm (24mm with full sensor) and f2 make it ideal for average light and more...The manual focus, which is smooth, takes a bit to get use to but the focus is 3 ft. to infinity..what can go wrong.....Stopping down about 2 stops plus, like most lenses, gives maximum sharpness..

Works for my Microframe counter.

Just what I wanted for the fridge. Quick service, which I appreciate.
