Review of Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle 1:1 Macro camera lens:

Positives:
The Laowa 15mm f/4 is a quality-built lens that can help you get some very interesting shots. It has a unique combination of extremely wide-angle and macro capabilities. This makes it a great option for getting close-up shots of subjects while capturing a wide field of view.

One of the best aspects of this lens is the level of detail it is capable of capturing when shooting at 1:1 distance. The macro images that this lens produces are simply stunning.

Negatives:
While the Laowa 15mm f/4 is a great lens in specific situations, it is not necessarily the most versatile option. In fact, I have found it to be a bit tricky to use. Due to the extreme wide-angle, it can be challenging to get everything in focus when shooting at close distances.

Additionally, I have found that the lens is only useful for very specific shots. If macro photography is not your area of focus, this lens may not be the best fit for your needs.

Conclusion:
Overall, I would recommend the Laowa 15mm f/4 to photographers who are specifically looking to capture macro shots at extremely wide-angles. It is a well-made lens that produces stunning images but is only useful in very specific scenarios. If this is the kind of photography you are interested in, then this lens is definitely worth considering.
