Neat specialty lens...

To be nicknamed "pencil" for the the dimensions.

Seems to be another impressive Laowa. I bought the Laowa 65 for Fuji some months ago, and I´m very very happy with that lens.

The concept is easy, and it shouldn't be complicated to do, however none of the big manufacturers decided making one for a good financial reason: sales volume. However this shouldn't matter much for a niche company like laowa, personally I wouldn't swap my 100mmf2.8 macro for this one but it's maybe I rarely use for macro and I use it more like a portraits lens
.Obviously some exceptional macro capabilities are expected.
Now for the test, I don't know how informative the tests at medium focus distance should be will focus breathing be measured ?? will actual resolution and performance at 1:2 be measured ? but maybe some samples at this distance would do the job (as long as Klaus stays away from Austarlian spiders
)

I'm curious because it looks nice, but Phillip Reeve pointed out a couple of disappointing pitfalls..
