Re: NiSi 9mm F2.8 vs Laowa 9mm f/2.8

I just got the 9mm laowa, but don’t have the nisi. I got it for the rumored simplicity and specific need for when I visit Spain next month. Test shots are excellent - far better than I expected, and quite nice and sharp even at 2.8. Perhaps I got a great copy. It is in fact super easy, even though it’s a manual focus - set it to infinity and f/8 and everything 4 feet and forward will be in focus. I’m so far very happy with the laowa and it’s very compact and light. On par with the 27mm pancake in terms of portability. It’ll be a great travel lens.

I was hoping for the upcoming. 8mm but it won’t be released in time for my trip.
