Best camera for the laowa 15mm f 4 5 0 5x wide angle macro?

The Laowa 15mm f/4.5 0.5X is a full-frame macro, so I'd start with a full-frame body. It's manual focus and not stabilised, so the camera's viewfinder and focus-peaking tools will matter more than autofocus.

My picks from the list of bodies it fits:

• Sony a7 IV: a sensible all-rounder with a large Sony mount range, so you won't run out of lenses.
• Canon EOS R6 Mark II: a strong choice if you already shoot Canon.
• Nikon Z6 II: a solid full-frame pick for Nikon Z users.

If you want to keep costs down, the Sony a6400 works too. On APS-C the lens frames like 22mm and gives more depth of field, which can help with close-up work. For the sensor reasoning, see Sensor sizes.
