  • Mute

    Sometimes exif photos are corrupted by the exiftool program, I thought about how to properly tag lenses, I used to set lens_make = “Laowa” and lens_model = “Laowa 12mm f / 2.8 Zero-D”, but now it seems that lens_make = “Venus Optics” c with the previous value of lens_model. While reading the article, the option lens_make = “Venus Optics Laowa” appeared. I don't know which is better.

  • i is glorious

    According to the test from Philippe Reeve's website, max. the scale of shooting is even worse, as much as 1:14,4.

  • i is glorious

    It's funny that almost all structural elements are gluing.
