newtoleica Posted August 13, 2023 Share #1  Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I read somewhere that the Laowa 15mm f2 dreamer lens for M mount was good for astrophotography. got a chance to try it out with my M10-P last night. Lake Balaton, Hungary. 3200 ISO f2 30s some edits briefly on my iPad. Will do properly and edit out the starlink when I get home.  It works well. There is a little spherical aberration in the corners but really very little and nothing to see unless you zoom right in.   Welcome, dear visitor!

mosh1 Posted August 13, 2023 Share #2 Â Posted August 13, 2023 Nice one. Would love to see the full resolution image posted somewhere. I do a lot of Astro and definitely interested in trying this lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks nice - although like @mosh1 said, would love to see full res shot posted somewhere if you have a portfolio or something. I've been eyeing up the Laowa 15mm f2 for ages now, but not easy to get hold of in UK it seems. I'll likely try and get my hands on it the next time I'm out in Asia.

I’ll do that later in the week and add the link here. I bought mine direct from the manufacturer in China. It came in 5 days. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightningstrike Posted August 26, 2023 Share #5  Posted August 26, 2023 I do a Lot of Astro with my M camera and recently added the laowa 15mm f2. I'm really very satisfied with it and very happy that i have something wider now than my Voigtländer 21mm 1.8. And for Leica M there is no alternative except the much more expensive Zeiss 15mm 2.8 which is one Stop slower. Welcome, dear visitor!
