The jumping spider that caught the dreagonfly, so damn nice!! I allways just saw them hunting down insects that are about the same size like they are or smaller, but that dreagonfly is really a giant catch, nice!

It would be interesting in seeing this lens put up against a tilt-shift adaptor (Yes! Those exist!)! Very awesome video! And your brief explanation of how tilt-shifts work was one of the most comprehensible I've seen so far! As informative and exciting an upload as ever. 👍👍👍🔥

Lovely video, Thomas. Not just superb macro pictures, but thoughtful imagery, editing, and clever composition, too. Speaking as a bumbling amateur in the field (literally!) I'm reminded by your videos that the quality of results in photography are often more about the man than the machinery. Deep pockets obviously help, but I'm willing to bet that masters such as yourself could get wonderful results with the most basic of equipment.

One problem I see with this lens besides it weight is going to be how much will people actually tilt the lens. They are marking this as a macro lens but it seems more studio macro and not out in the field macro. You might not have time to fiddle with tilt in the field. I honestly think this would have been better if it was 50mm instead of 100mm with not a need for 2x macro but just 1x reproduction.

I might consider this for studio work but would want a tripod collar and will have to make do with my Laowa 85mm. I was a little surprised to hear you credit the Laowa 100 as sharpest since I thought reviews put it a little behind the Laowa 90mm or even my 85. My experience with macro in general suggests that 95% of the time the lens sharpness is a very small matter of concern compared to ease of use and ability to get light into that tiny working distance. That makes the cold shoe seem a good idea. I mounted a cold shoe on a lens hood for that reason. I wish it were tiltable or even permanently inclined a bit making is a good place to mount a small LED bank or slaved flash. I'll pass on it since I already have the Laowa 85 but I enjoy the fact that a manufacturer was willing to try this.

Thanks for bringing this lens to my attention, as well as for your description of it! "The lens is available for most major camera mounts"? Well, apparently not for Canon EF - in my opinion still THE major camera mount. Not everyone is eager to join the mirrorless craze. My philosophy is, if it ain't broken, don't fix it. And my DSLRs - with the many excellent lenses that I own - still work impeccably well. So for hopefully a long time to come mirrorless will only be a tremendous waste of good money. For me at least. I own about eight great 1:1 or higher magnification macro lenses, including the Laowa 100, so I don't really need another. A tilt-shift would be very nice, and I've wanted one for many years, but 100 mm is very long - I'd prefer a much wider angle. I do own the Laowa 15 mm, reviewed by the great Thomas Shahan a few years ago, and it has a 6 mm shift function. It's nice, but also very limited as you can't turn the shift. For tilt I have the Lensbaby Composer with a selection of optics. The widest is 35 mm which isn't wide at all on an APS-C camera which is all I have. But I'm not ready to pay the price of a Canon TSE.

Thanks for t his. Would really like to understand how you could fully use the features of a lens like this in the field. What would the strategy be to get all of the bug in focus? Do you set up in advance and learn to position the camera exploiting the extended dof? And with a manual focus how practical is it to optimise everything??

I would like to know how it compares in terms of sharpnes and contrast with other macro lenses from Sigma, Canon or Nikon. I think the tilt function is more useful when shooting tabletop food or a flat landscape…

I’m looking for a 2x macro lens for my full frame camera, I currently shoot macro on my Sony rx10mk4 with its macro facility. However the images are no way as clear as a dedicated lens. I notice there are not many macro lenses like this with auto focus. Out of this TT or the other make you compared thus too, which would you say would be the best?

Yeah, I think the Laowa's got a bit better microcontrast & colors - also the Laowa is less prone to flaring when shooting against bright backgrounds. Still, center sharpness is quite similar w/ both lenses!
