Are There Any Limits to What We Can Do With Lenses Now?

The X5 is the latest flagship camera from Insta360. With full 360° 8K30fps capture, enhanced low-light performance, and a 185-minute battery life, X5 is designed for all-day, all-night, all-angle shooting.

Get the X5 now, the smartest and toughest 360° Camera ever made here and use code “PetaPixel” to get a free 114cm invisible selfie stick with your purchase.

We've seen some incredible lens designs in recent years, but last week's announcement of a Sony 50-150mm f/2 GM got us wondering what the limits of reasonable lens development are now. We've seen you all suggest lenses that sounded crazy, but now... maybe we aren't so sure.
