Does anyone have....

[THXGEEK]

...experience with Venus Optics Laowa lenses? Specifically, the Venus Optics Laowa 55mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift 1x Macro Lens. How 'bout with tilt-shift lenses in general?

For the VOL: Good quality? Mediocre? 'Run away! Run away!' kind of bad?

For the T-S aspect: Useful? Not?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Thanks!

Their customer relations are absolutely terrible! I once had a Laowa 100mm macro lens for my Canon, and I had a problem with the iris not stopping-down properly. I could never find out how to get it repaired. I contacted their head office in China, but all I got was a series of stupid irrelevant questions, they refused to give me an address that I could send it to for repair, so I gave up. I will never buy from them again.

Thank you!
