The Laowa TS 24mm F2 tilt-shift lens is now available for purchase, priced at ¥7650. The lens is compatible with a wide range of mounts, including E, Z, RF, L, GFX, and XCD systems.
The device features a dual-axis control system for tilt and shift, allowing for independent or synchronized adjustments. On full-frame cameras, it offers a tilt range of ±10° and a shift range of ±12mm. When used with GFX or XCD medium-format systems, the tilt range remains ±10°, while the X/Y shift range also reaches ±12mm.
The optical design includes 13 elements in 10 groups, incorporating 5 extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses, 2 aspherical lenses, and 4 high-refractive lenses. The lens supports a 77mm filter size and weighs approximately 860g.
The manufacturer claims the lens effectively suppresses barrel and pincushion distortion at the source, achieving near-zero distortion. This design is intended to assist in architectural and spatial photography by producing straight lines without the need for post-processing corrections.
