I finally got an Laowa 58mm f2.8 macro lens and went yesterday for testing it. Test setup was Canon R8 + Laowa 58mm macro, flash is an godox V480c with aliexpress macro diffuser.
I must say this is a good lens but its pretty hard to focus in 2:1 magnification. The DoF is crazy small even when its closed to F8 or F11. I had to use help of focus peaking with 5x digital magnification to get any decent result :) Next time i try to focus stack and see what result i get .

Here i will put all my future macro images so it will be better that everything is in one thread.

Love the Ladybug! It's rare to see the 'face-on' view.

And your focus is spot on - when viewed at full size, you can see the individual ommatidium in its eyes.

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
