Title: 15mm f4 for Sony Emount for $479
Post by: Herbc on December 26, 2015, 11:50:55 am

No, I am not selling one, I just ran across it at B&H.  It is the Venus Optics 15mm f4 Sony Emount lens for $479, and it has 6mm of shift.
Anybody use this lens?  Seems like it might be worth a try-it does 1:1 macro, has 12 elements in 9 groups and 14 diaphragm blades, metal construction. 8)

thanks, looks interesting, especially the ground level shots of mushrooms.  I don't see it as a serious need since I have the 16-35 zoom, but it seems like it would be fun.
