Review Summary
2024-01-01T09:55:26
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.

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

Bring your photography to new heights with the high-quality and versatile Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift Lens for Pentax K. This ultra-wide-angle shift lens is a game-changer for photographers, offering a unique combination of high image sharpness and near-zero distortion.
Designed with an innovative rotatable lens hood, this lens effectively avoids flares and protects the front lens element, ensuring your shots are always clear and vibrant. With a shift range of +/-11mm for full-frame cameras and +/-8mm for medium format cameras, this lens makes it effortless to capture architectural and interior photography with a corrected perspective.
The Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift Lens is a valuable addition to Laowa's Shift Lens lineup, offering a 94.4-degree angle of view and up to 117 degrees for panorama photography. This lens captures the entire scene while minimizing large regions of emptiness, making it ideal for architectural and interior photography where balance between the subject and background is crucial.
The lens boasts an outstanding optical performance with 16 elements in 11 groups, including 2 aspherical elements and 3 ED elements. This design ensures impressive control over chromatic aberration and consistent image sharpness from the center to the edge. As part of the "Zero-D" series, this lens offers near-zero distortion, ensuring straight lines are maintained from corner to corner - a must-have feature for architectural, commercial, interior, and landscape photographers.

With a close focusing distance of 25cm, the Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift Lens also supports wide-angle macro photography, allowing you to capture close objects without needing to change lenses.
The 360-degree rotatable lens hood and 82mm filter thread are designed for convenience and efficiency, keeping your images free from unwanted flares and making the use of screw-in filters possible. The specially designed lens support is compatible with both the 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift and 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift, making it easier to retain the axis of the image when changing orientations and shifting.
In summary, the Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift Lens for Pentax K is a reliable, durable, and innovative choice for photographers looking to elevate their work with superior image quality and creative flexibility.
