    Olympus Pen F with Metabones Speed Booster and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 or Voigtlander 10.5mm f/0.95 or Nikon D800 with the Laowa 12mm f/2.8. The need to keep in touch with the past is a Nikon Photomic FTn or Nikon F2A and a Nikkor 25-50mm f/4 AI

    I have the Nikon mount version.
    I dont use it every day, but when I do it justifys the cost (which wasnt all that painfull).
    Whilst it works well handheld thanks to the anti vibration feature, I do get much better results when I use a Mono or Tripod.
