Laowa 45mm F0.95 and 85mm F5.6 2:1 Macro tested at SonyAlphaBlog
Laowa 45mm F0.95 Argus review at SonyAlphaBlog:
Overall the Laowa provide very good results but at a price tag quite above the others without providing major improvements over its competitors
Laowa 85mm F5.6 2:1 Macro review at SonyAlphaBlog:
The Laowa 85mm F5.6 is globally a very good macro lens , not the best possible 2:1 but offering a lens that is very discrete light and small with excellent sharpness and very good color rendering
If you want a more versatile lens then the Laowa 100mm F2.8 Macro , for almost the same price will allow to shot portraits with small depth of field but will be much bigger and heavier
