Have you tried the thinner of the plastic washers that fit inside the ring? I found that by replacing the default one with the thinner one there are various lenses it would fit....
No, I havenīt, i bought my collar used and have only one washer that fits the Novoflex-adapters. Without the washer the collar is wide enough (too wide) for the MC-11, so it might fit with a thinner washer or some DIY-solution.

Yep it might be worth a go then for anyone who has the Novoflex, the full kit of three washers, and an MC11. I think the washer that fits Novoflex adapters is the thickest of them. I need the thinner one to fit the FE2.8/90, for example. I've considered getting an MC-11 for my Canon MP-E . If I do I'll report back if no one else has about fitting the Nonoflex.
I contacted them 2 weeks ago and complained that they noted the first quarter and the first quarter was nearly up. They responded that they had some production issues, but that they should be shipping in May.

The Chinese New Year was Jan 28, so they get 4 extra weeks :-)
Looking at the superb quality of Sigma Art lenses, my last two 20mm f/1.4 and 135mm f/1.8, I am now more excited about the Sigma 14mm f/1.8. From what I could gather, the other Art lenses have earned an excellent reputation as well. Yes, that Sigma lens would be heavier, bulkier and more expensive but you get what you are willing to handle and pay for, I guess . This is where a better funded R&D and a more established company shines. I just wish that Sigma will come out with their version of native FE lenses before too long.

I hope to add a wide angle in the coming months. Will be good to have more choices. After having spectacular results from their 135, I'm looking forward to checking out the 14mm F1.8.
They finally shipped this lens to me (production model). I should get it soon and will compare it to many lenses including the CV 15/4.5 and 12-24/4. I'm hopeful it will be a great astro lens. Let's see!
I got the Laowa 15/2 a couple days ago. It weights 516 grams without the metal hood and caps. It's surprisingly small as well.
I've tested it against the Sony 12-24/4 G and CV 15/4.5 III and was very surprised by the results. I am waiting to find out if I can post the tests and if I do, I will start a new thread on it. BTW: I tested it for coma as well.

Thanks Fred. Very interested in this for an Aurora lens. Hope that even if you can't post test result images you can at least give us your impressions and discuss your observations. Thanks!
