BMPCC4K and LAOWA 9MM F/2.8 - The best wide angle lens for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K

Had the chance to test out the new Laowa 9mm f/2.8 that Venus Optics sent me and I have to say, I’m pretty impressed. The lens is sharp, but not ultra sharp and it holds up very well even at f/2.8. There is literally zero distortion and the build quality is excellent. I didn’t use my NiSi IRND and matte box, but only a Tiffen Variable ND, which occasionally caused some vignetting (the lens DOES NOT vignette at all). Also, at 2.8 the lens has a very nice shallow depth of field considering is a 9mm. Good job
