VENUS LAOWA 15mm f/2.0 Sony E Mount Lens

Thankful to have a chance at using the Laowa 15mm f/2 e mount this weekend, though I will point it it's not a final version of the lens, it's pre-production, but it's a very sturdy feeling little beast. I'm not a lens reviewer and this certainly isn't a review, but here are some photographs I made while I was wandering around today and last night. 

Man with Dog near the heads - Laowa 15mm f/2.0 1/1600th | Sony a7RMk2

Just to re-cap, not a review, just some time out with the 15mm Laowa f/2.0 Sony E Mount lens. 

It's a very impressive little (but very solid feeling) lens, I'm interested to try it side by side with the Sony 16-35mm. (obviously it's MF and the Sony is AF, but whatevs)

Do Cheap Coffee Scales Get The Job Done?

I picked up a set of coffee scales from BangGood (See them here) and thought I'd do a short unbox+review of them. 

You can get away without scales, but life + balance is much better if you just get some and make your coffee the same each and every time. 

Then put it in a thermos and go wander in the bush...

Coffee, anyone?
