  • koba

    While Meike was launching this probably good lens, the 4/3 system began to die. Now all that remains is to buy this system for Chinese manufacturers, I anticipate that sooner or later it will be so, of course, if someone wants to buy a dead system, maybe especially for the domestic Chinese market ...

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Well, the other day only the announcement of the Panasonic G100 was. Are you specifically talking about Olik

    • 1

      And today, Olik himself updated the roadmap on lenses. And there was added a new, past wide-angle zoom. There is some incomprehensibility with olik

      • Ivan

        And what incomprehensibility? There, Pentax already twice outbid. Wait and see. Now there is a global economic crisis. And smartphones are stepping on the heels of cameras. Photo business will not work at a loss. Now there will be a major restructuring in this direction.

    • Not + bot

      At CP + 2019, they showed the camera from Yangnuo to m43, I would have fussed in place of the Yangs and bought Olympus)))

      • Pokemon

        The Chinese are quite smart and prudent people who have a special relationship with Laovians and Japanese. I am sure of their prudence.
        Sorry, but, Twicecrop - amen. It's just a matter of time.

      • Roman

        It is on sale there, I came across reviews, but it did not reach us and, it seems, will not reach us anymore. Also, lenses for EF mount.

      • Arkady Shapoval

        I was promised her a review, but then something went wrong

  • Oleg

    Looks like a door peephole

  • Not + bot

    And yes, there is also Rokinon 85 1.4 manul for $ 400 released.

  • Ivan

    Here's a review of a similar 4mm / F 2.8 lens: m43photo.blogspot.com/2020/01/laowa-4mm-f28-fisheye-fun-and-nice.html

    • Arkady Shapoval

      Laowa is usually a cut above Meike :). They generally have unique solutions.
