Review: The Laowa 12-24mm f/5.6 C-Dreamer is one of the most affordable ultra-wide-angle lenses on the market, but that comes with caveats.
for full-frame mirrorless systems. Where many ultra-wide lenses can be big, bulky, and incredibly pricey, this new “slow” lens becomes even more impressive with its relatively small $649 price. While the entry-level affordable lens is available for Canon RF, Sony E, Nikon Z, and Leica M mounts, is it really a “dream” to use?
The aperture ring features a “clicking” design with stops that range from f/5.6 to f/22 with a very small under 30-degree rotation that ensures you won’t experience any aperture drifting while making zoom or focus adjustments. Conversely, the zoom and focus rings are smooth with no click-stops along their respective rotations, but they are stiff enough to not have to worry about them drifting when positioned at odd angles.
The small form factor and lightweight design make it easy to pack and travel with, but you should be aware that the lens is not weather-sealed, so be sure to take that in mind when heading out into the elements with it and bring proper protection.Something nice about ultra-wide-angle lenses is that they tend to be able to focus extremely close to subjects. The Venus Optics Laowa 12-24mm f/5.
While the lens was mostly distortion-free at the widest settings, there was still a large amount of vignetting, ghosting, and fall-off along the edges in regards to sharpness along the edges. Again, stepping down cleans this up a little, but it is a little disappointing. From testing the distortion, while slight, cleans up when you shoot around the 14-15mm mark and then once you get past the 18mm mark there is a slight pincushion type distortion.
Overall, the lens is sharpest all around at about the f/8 to f/11 range and this is pretty consistent from 12mm to 24mm which is a pretty big improvement from the other wide angle lenses from Laowa which previously have been best performing at the widest field of view.
