Looks like Lee Filters and holders are overrated.

Any cheap alternative that can cover a wide angle like the laowa 15mm?

Have you had a look at the NiSi V5 holder system, comes with a removeable CPL filter built in too. The ability to turn the CPL while you have a filter in is excellent. Takes a 100x100 filter

Now I no longer have Smooth Reflections app I have to re learn my filters lol

First visit to the Brevard Zoo of '18.

Some Birds.

I thought this was a GBH from a different still, but I really don't know. Anyone?

Nice captures. I'm no expert but I've never seen a GBH that looks like your first image.

Gene, I'm not really sure either. I'll leave it as a question mark until Robert can steer me in the right direction!

Hey Mickey does that 135mm exhibit that type of bokeh all of the time? The Meerkat image is the one really noticeable.

Nice photos. That sony 135 is special. The rendering and bokeh beats out the Sigma for sure and I miss the lens.

Thank you, Carlo. I don't really have an opinion on 135ZA vs 135A in terms of bokeh and rendering, but your images with both lenses really bring out the best in those pieces of glass. I am pretty sure you are the only shooter I've seen across any forum who has shot with both, although there must be some here and there.

Thank you! I got super lucky with that one--it was like he was posing for senior portraits for me!

Alan, I have to admit that I can't harness the full awesomeness of the 135ZA consistently. I'm like a 777 pilot trying to fly the SR-71 Blackbird at times with that thing.

Here are a few more bokeh shots with the 135ZA.

Please excuse the netting in the background making the bokeh look a little dirty, but check out the parts the net doesn't reach.

Laowa at F11 focus to infinity.

another test with CPL+12stop ND filter stacked together. I'm surprised there's no vignetting.

i should have shoot a frame for the trees. I was on a hurry. I'll go back there again. it's just 10mins away from me.
