Venus Optics has a new lens on the way - the 15mm F2, for Sony's E mount. Billed as the world's fastest 15mm lens, Laowa claims zero distortion. And stabilized footage shot with the new 15mm certainly looks nice.
We got our hands on a prototype version of the 15mm last year at Photokina, and we're expecting a reviewable sample to arrive in our office very soon. Watch this space for sample images!
