As I mentioned in another thread, I'm attending a Sony event in a week's time, and Laowa are also going to be there. If anyone has any questions that they want me to put to Laowa please let me know.

The 8-15 AF FE is obviously a huge question, especially if it looks like it could take a TC.

1st question on the list!😀

OK I'm back home from the SonyScene event in Melbourne.

I've asked the questions about the Laowa AF FE and the Laowa importer has taken the question on notice and will get back to me.

I was talking to a Sony product specialist though, and he said that in general fisheye lenses designed for purely for mirrorless wouldn't be able to accept a teleconvertor due to them being designed for short distances between the sensor and the back of the lens. Basically it physically just won't all fit.

The SonyScene event was very worthwhile attending. I only went on the Sunday as the weather in Melbourne on Saturday was crap - it started with a 4 point something earthquake early on Saturday morning and then the day just got worse from there! On the Sunday though I was able to run some tests with their product specialists at the tech bar using focus bracketing on the A7RVI with a few different macro lenses which gave me some great data on frames per second, number of images needed to go from 1:1 to infinity etc etc. - it was highly worthwhile going. Lots of interesting presentations too, and some really great pricing on cameras and lenses etc.
