• Available across major mounts, including Sony FE, Canon RF, Nikon Z, L mount, Fuji GFX, and Hasselblad XCD.

How this lens helps your work

Architects and architectural photographers will find the shift function particularly useful for correcting converging lines without tilting the camera. Meanwhile, product photographers can use the tilt and the 0.5X macro magnification to control the plane of focus and capture fine detail. Additionally, creative shooters can exploit selective blur and unconventional focus planes for artistic compositions.

Furthermore, the 360° rotating mount with 24 preset click stops gives you repeatable angles, which speeds up workflow when switching between horizontal and vertical framing. The 77mm filter thread lets you attach ND or CPL filters quickly, allowing practical in-field adjustments without extra adapters.
