The 82mm filter thread is a convenient addition, allowing for the use of screw-in filters that are more cost-effective and compact than separate filter holders.Furthermore, the lens includes a specially designed support compatible with both the 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift and the 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift lenses.

Its ability to deliver sharp, distortion-free images with a wide field of view makes it an ideal choice for photographers specializing in landscapes, cityscapes, architecture, and interior photography.

So haven't had a chance to put the lens through a rigorous set of images ( it arrived while I was on a shoot for one of the new US National Monuments) . The lens is very sharp even when viewed at 800% taken on a Fujifilm GFX100. The lens does let the user use all 102MP effectively. The biggest issue is while the specs state 8mm of shift on the Fujifilm GFX100, I found less than that in real world use, with more like 5-7mm. I also find that unless the hood is precisely positioned the edges of the lens hood to
Intrude on the image even with 0mm shift.

Decent lens but not without flaws on a medium format

Very good lens, solid, easy to use - I think more lens manufacturers should follow the lead of Venus Laowa in producing more shift lenses, without tilt
