World's First Wide-Angle Zoom Shift Lens
Unlike any lens to come before it, the Sony E-mount Laowa 12-24mm f/5.6 Zoom Shift CF Lens from Venus Optics provides both shifting and ultrawide zoom capabilities to users, making it the first of its kind. Delivering precise perspective control and minimal distortion, this zoom lens is perfect for architecture and interior photography. With its broad 102.5–63.9° angle of view and +/- 7mm shift range, this lens straightens converging lines, which is particularly useful when capturing tall buildings. A minimum focusing distance of 5.9" avails working up-close to subjects with sharp manual focusing. The optical construction features a nine-bladed diaphragm and 15 lens elements in 11 groups for impressive image quality.
+/- 7mm Shift Range
Make precise adjustments, create straight vertical lines, and drastically reduce distortion with the +/- 7mm shift range provided by the Laowa 12-24mm f/5.6. The ability to shift throughout the entire zoom range gives you excellent control and ensures more true-to-life images. Having these adjustment capabilities at your fingertips opens up a plethora of framing options without needing to reposition your camera.
