Test Laowa 25 mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro (review)

Super macro images,nice and I Love mcro and close up images

A piece of garbage made in China, thanks to you people promoting it.

hey man ,love your shots. Is it possible to get similar quality/ ultra macro without having a rail? I know how to focus stack, but could similar effect be achieved just by closed aperture plus strong flash + diffuser? or is focus stacking always better?

I love your videos and can't believe how lucky I was to stumble upon your channel. Your attention to detail is fantastic and love how you've DIY'ed so many different setups. A great inspiration!

impressive images and technique.Thanks for sharing

I'm curious; if the insects are dead why do you need to shoot in such a short time. I appreciate it makes things easier, but if I can't afford a motorised system can I manually stack using a macro focus rail ?

I have canon rebel t6..is laowa 24mm compatible? or Do I need some adapter?

I thought at F16 there is way too much diffraction to get a clear image. How did you manage to get those?

Wow, that's incredible to see!!

Great shots with the ants when they were eating in food, were any of them focus stacked? I was suprised that some of them werein good focus from the front to the back of the ant!

Danke das du uns die seltene Möglichkeit gegeben hast diesen wunderbaren Insekten so nahe zu sein Ich würde gerne viel mehr davon sehen Vielen vielen Dank

I'm in love!

Stunning. Thanks for sharing your workflow. I'm in the throws of upgrading to a lens like this after testing extension tubes. Still deciding on magnification. I might just stick with 1:1 or 2x. Anything more is too extreme for me.

Perfect !! What is the brand of your rail, and is it with the motor included ?

❤❤❤!!!

Fascinating

Wow! Very 👍

Superb! How do manage to take more than 100 pics in just seconds??? Where can I get the motor?

which lights did you use for the lab stacking?

Wow! Incredible stuff!

Very very nice I was wondering if this lens is possible for eye iris photography

Amazing!!! Which x2 extender do you use?

What is that automatic motor on the tripod which is used to zoom

sooo epic! a bit intimidating to start doing this. but I absolutely loved it and I loved the explanation! thank you

awesome

Wow

you are a God of Macro :)

Can you tell me more about the motorized slider?

Wow! That’s a lot of work for you plus the stacking- though the results are phenomenal. Great work!

good works. what extender you are using?

Incredible. This is beyond practial though and is reaching into the ridiculous levels of difficulty. You have far too much patience and dedication, impressive!

The head of the ant is impressive. Can an extender lens be added to the Laowa 25? explain it to me please

how did y made the rail.

Absolutely stunning images. Bravo !

Dude your photos are insane!!!!!

Could you tell me what’s that machine you used to pull focus??

Wow impressive!!!

Wow, incredible outdoor macro techniques!

Awesome! Thank you!

It's very hard to shot.

Awesome images, Stephane!!📷👏👏👏

Fantastic images! You show more than I have seen before the full potential of this lens. Ingenious hardware creations for automation.

I am very impressed with your ingenious solutions for field stacking! I came up with a very similar device but it was too bulky for practical use in the field. I am working on a new system that uses the tiny sled stepper motors from DVD drives, but they lack the torque to drive the NiSi rail accurately. What motor are you using with the rail - it looks like a regular DC motor - and what are you driving it with? Thanks for sharing this excellent footage! Allan

Beautiful!

A otro nivel, gracias por compartir tan bonito y profesional trabajo

Wow !

Спасибо за столь увлекательную и познавательную презентацию!

You deserve to be subscribed. I did my part and awaiting for more videos like that. And by the way amazing shots.
