No, you are missing the point. Get the Laowa 7.5mm ultra wide angle lens. And get a cheap extension tube for the close focus work you might want to do.

Hi again!

So it turns out someone from a different forum pointed out that by doing so with a 10mm ring, the subject will be something like against the lens!

He did a test with his a 12mm lens, the focal point was at 5mm of the end of the lens, and with his 7.5 Samyang fish eye, it is inside the lens!

I'm not sure exactly what this tells us in terms of distances in our case, but this seems like there could be a problem... thoughts ?
