Thanks for chiming in Phil, nice shots!

Thanks!

I wish I could get a lens like the Laowa 25 that talked to the camera and could focus wide open then stop down for the shot that had the 2.5x to 5x range for the $399 price.

Even a used Sony 90 is 2x the cost of the Laowa and only gives 1:1 (which I have with my APS-C Sony rig).

Well, they are two totally different beasts for different use scenarios. In the 2.5x to 5x range focusing will have to be manual and slow anyway (also for focus stacking, which is very good idea for those magnifications). Up to 1:1 (and combined e.g. with a achromatic diopter easily some more) the Sony 90 is not only a very sharp, but also a very versatile and fast lens to use.

In any case I'm not ready to pull the trigger yet...

Take your time. Both lenses are plenty in supply AFAIK.

Phil
