Is the laowa 19mm f 2 8 zero d gfx worth it?

The Laowa 19mm f/2.8 Zero-D GFX is worth it if you already shoot a Fujifilm GFX body and want a wide lens. On medium format it frames like a 15mm on full frame, and f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/2.2 there. It's manual focus and not stabilised, so it suits slower, deliberate work like landscapes and architecture more than fast moving subjects.

It fits the GFX 50S, GFX 50R, GFX100, GFX 50S II, GFX100S, GFX100 II, GFX100S II and GFX Eterna 55, so check your body is on that list before you buy. If you're still choosing a system, the focal length converter explains how aperture translates between sensor sizes, and sensor sizes covers when a bigger sensor pays off.
