>>4334927You are basically shitposting.
A lens like the Laowa 10mm is an unicum and cannot really compared to anything else. Maybe just against the previous 9mm but this doesn't affect my point.
The 10mm is far from being a perfect lense and it has some flaws that are perfectly balanced by the FOV and low distorsion. It can surelly used for professional purposes. But is better than what? There are no competitors.
If we wanna talk about 50mm, LOL, MrDing? Really? f1.1? Are you a newbie or a troll? Even taking into consideration Leica talking about quality is pretty stupid. The aim of Leica (photo) is not to make good quality lenses/camera, but to provide a certain look.
Cheap chinese ultra fast lenses are tecnically garbage. They are extremelly fun, well made and extremelly usefull to learn, but cannot be compared to the equivalent branded ones that are way more expensive, coated, automatic, stabilized, etc.
Same for audio.
EU, US and JP headphones are still way better. Have you ever tryed a pair of Beyerdynamic (cheap and top quality). What to comapre with on chinese market?
Are there any western portable DAC+AMPs to compare the chinese one with? Not many, and the chinese ones are very good for consumers.
What's the chinese alternative for an RME fireface? Quality and feature wise? None. What about monitors... what's the Genelec 8050 or just the Yamaha HS8? Same.
What's the reasonable western alternative to the random nice chinese hi-fi amp? None! Only extremelly overpriced madness.
Chinese and western products cannot really be compared because right now they cover different market sectors.
Moreover, chinese lenses are made with western glass (Hoya first) and chinese electronics is made with western silicon. But both are partially made in china and chinese engeneers participates in the design. Western engeneers were deeply involved in a lot of chinese projects and a lot of "tecnology transfer" happened defore Xi madness.
So, what are we talking about.
