If it's as good as a good Voigtländer 15mm f 4,5 III, they'll sell many of them.
The Super Heliar is the only extreme WA that can be used on digital Leica Ms without causing an ugly magenta cast on the sides of the picture . But one has to be a bit lucky to get a good one, production QC is very tolerant. Yet, the good ones are remarkable little lenses which I can warmly recommend.

Let\'s see his distorsion and IQ! but if they are good enough, only for his size, will be a reason to sell my samyang 14mm and put this one in my bag!

I\'m already in love working with the Argus 45mm even being manual focus!


BTW! You say in the title that is a 15mm f5. Correct it

饼干 is more like biscuit, instead of cookie, anymore.

The pictured lens looks quite a bit bigger than their existing 'cookie' 10mm f/4 for APSC - more like a 'muffin'! But their lenses are generally well built and well priced - so I'll be interested in reviews, because this could be an interesting UW alternative.

Well, technically a pancake is any cake made in a pan.
For some reason in the USA when we say pancake we mean flapjacks.
We even call them that when they are griddle cakes that never touch a pan.

Strange, because in Britain, flapjacks are kind of granola bars...
So, this Laowa is also a flapjack lens
