Lens overboard! We got a shipment of some very soaked-through Atlas Orion primes and straight away knew we had a mess on our hands. Never a good sign when a lens drips anytime you pick it up.

Now, we get lenses that have water contamination fairly often. It happens more than you think. We’ve even showcased a few on here before. But it’s been a while since a set has come in here looking wetter than the ones we have in the fish tank in our lobby!

It’s a good thing that we are experts, so these lenses are going to leave here looking clearer than the night sky after rain.

This is not how you get “bubble bokeh” by the way. 😬

Laowa has never been particularly interested in making the same lenses as everyone else. While most manufacturers compete over increasingly familiar variations of fast primes, standard zooms, and conventional macro lenses, Laowa tends to wander into the strange, neglected corners of optical design....
