It is the world's widest non-fisheye Leica M mount lens. Deemed impossible even as far as 10 years ago, the Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL lens has been available in rangefinder coupled (not really necessary, but nice nevertheless) M mount since 2020. With a remarkable 135° angle of view and good corner-to-corner performance that even beats some of the more expensive ultra wide lenses (like Canon 11-24), the Laowa 9mm is the "as wide as it gets" bragging rights trophy for all UWA show-offs, lovers and enthusiasts, sporting 12cm/4.72 inches close focusing distance (which many men will find familiar for some reason). The lens was briefly mentioned on LUF. I am in the process of thoroughly testing the lens - a silver version of course to match my M collection - and will share ASAP.

A new UWA Leica M lens - the fastest UWA in M mount is shipping. RF coupled, "close-to-zero" distortion according to Laowa, 110° angle of view, 12 elements in 9 groups, 2x ASPH elements + 3x ELD elements, 10 sunstars, 72mm filter thread, about 418g. Priced at $649. Sample variations are a thing with Laowa, keep an eye on that. The diaphragm ring is going the opposite way, that surely is a minor nuisance. https://www.venuslens.net/product/laowa-15mm-f-2-zero-d-lm/

For UWA lens fans and users: could you work/live with just one UWA lens to rule them all (say, 15mm or 18mm) or would you rather have two extreme sides of UWA (like Laowa 9mm/Voigtlander 10/12mm and a 21mm)? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Hi guys, For UWA range, you would prefer last version (v3) of Voigtlander's 15/4.5, plus the Super-Elmar 21/3.4, or Tri-Elmar 16-21, and why? I especially like 21 focal lenght, how much is the difference between SEM 21 and WATE at 21mm mark? Thank you in advance
