From Thephoblographer:

The Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f2 lens is a really fantastic lens option. It isn’t extremely expensive at $849. And for the price point it surely is offering very low distortion. For the photographer that will more or less just focus out to infinity and go on about life this lens is a great option.
