I'm interested in the Laowa 4mm lens for use on my Canon M50 Mark II.
I have two questions about this setup:

  • Is any part of the camera visible in the photos produced?
  • Does it create a completely circular image, or is it cropped?

Any comments are welcome, I'm very interested in reading opinions and experiences with this setup or other lenses for the M50 that achieve a similar look.

Thanks in advance

Check the listing on B&H:

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1542243-REG/venus_optics_ve428eosm_laowa_4mm_f_2_8_fisheye.html

As you can see in the listed product images, it produces a round image on Canon APS-C.

It also shows it mounted on an an M5 where the grip should be similar (if not a little longer) than the M50.

Look at the top-down image of the lens mounted on the M5. With a listed 210 degree fov, I believe it should just clear the grip. That said, you will probably have to be careful where you put your fingers lest they show up in the shot.

Hope that helps
