As expected, Venus Optics today unveiled the Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift lens, which was previewed last week. This is an ultra-wide-angle shift lens that can be used with full-frame and medium format cameras. In the first case, a shift is available in the range of ±11 mm, in the second – in the range of ±8 mm. The shift function allows you to correct perspective distortion, so the lens is well suited for interior, architectural and some other types of photography. It is available in L, Sony E, Canon EF and RF, Nikon F and Z, Pentax K and Fujifilm G mounts. The lens is manually focused.
