Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D Tilt-Shift - Optimal perspective control for filmmakers

Laowa 17 mm f/4 Zero-D Tilt-Shift is a high-quality lens designed for both professional filmmakers and photographers seeking maximum control over perspective. With its unique Zero-D construction, this lens eliminates optical distortion and keystone effects, allowing you to correct perspective directly in the camera instead of in post-processing. Additionally, the tilt function offers the ability to angle the plane of focus, providing creative opportunities for depth of field and composition.

Features and benefits

Laowa 17 mm f/4 Zero-D Tilt-Shift has an impressive optical construction consisting of 18 elements in 12 groups, providing a wide image angle of 104 degrees. This wide-angle makes it perfect for landscape photography, architecture, and interior shots where space is limited. The unique Zero-D design minimizes distortion, which is crucial for preserving the natural shapes and lines of subjects in your images.

The integrated tilt function allows photographers to adjust the plane of focus in relation to the sensor, which can be used to extend the depth of field across the entire scene or create a miniature effect with a shallow depth of field. This provides fantastic creative control and allows you to experiment with different focus settings and compositions.

The lens also features a 14-blade aperture, which produces beautifully rounded bokeh and a soft starburst effect when stopped down. With a minimum focusing distance of 25 cm, you can also capture details with precision. Additionally, the lens body is equipped with an Arca-Swiss tripod foot for easy mounting without the need for additional plates, facilitating filming and photography.
