Interesting to note that the Laowa 7.5mm is 27gr _lighter_ than my new little Samyang 7.5mm ! Is that correct?  I never looked before because the Laowa just looked chunkier.

Just the reverse, the Laowa is slightly longer, but slenderer:

               Samyang                Laowa
Weight:     197 g (0.43 lb)     170 g (0.37 lb)
Diameter:    60 mm (2.36″)        50 mm (1.97″)
Length:      48 mm (1.9″)        55 mm (2.17″)


Laowa is svelte,  Samyang is the "Chunk". :-)

The Laowa is really tiny and rather attractive. They also make a slightly lighter version, for 'copters. I imagine the weight difference is mostly the big, bulbous FE of the Sammy fisheye.
