The starry sky AF is the cat's meow but where are quality ultrawide fast 
primes?  The Oly fishy is not rectilinear and the 7-14/2.8 pro is pretty crummy 
at 7mm and a tad slow given the increased noise of MFT.   Then this new guy was 
just announced.  It was difficult to locate any coma data but after fishing 
around for awhile located one youtube review.

Well??????  Really optimized for Vlogging, oddball WA macro and small size.  
Designers had to compromise on distortion, vignetting, coma, so may not be 
great for astro.  Will reserve final judgment, but early data not encouraging 
for this application.  Bah, humbug.  It is really, really  small though.

I haven't kept up. Is the Laowa 9.5/2 not optically good enough? You played with mine, no? I gave it up for other reasons. No Sky AF, of course.

Does Sky AF work with Pannys? (Implied above . . .) If so, I might be tempted to play the serial rental/buy-test-return game with the PLeica 12/1.4. You might hit it lucky early.
