Venus Laowa 7.5mm f/2 Lens

[LaunchHSV]

I'm receiving this lens today and wanted to get the communities opinion on it? Is this a good lens? Will DJI support this lens in the near future/ is it already supported?

Thanks in advance!

I bought one, used it once, and sold it on eBay.

It is a manual-focus lens, which means that you need to focus it with your hands while on the ground. You can't change focus from the remote.

I found the image quality to be significantly less than the Olympus 12mm, which was my bread-and-butter MFT lens. That decreased quality wasn't worth the extra width, in my opinion.

I found infinite focus and marked it on the lens and make sure it's on the mark prior to flight. That helps with keeping the focus. I find the lens to be sharp and with minimal distortion although it can get you in trouble at times making things look off canter. I built a lens profile in Lightroom and premier that I feel works best for the lens and am still tweaking. I have heard good things about the 12mm and believe that will be my next lens. Thanks for your comment!
