Make your photography experience more versatile with the Venus Laowa Magic Shift Converter MSC for Canon EF to Nikon Z. This innovative adapter is expertly designed to transform Canon SLR lenses into a professional +/-10mm Shift lens, expanding your lens capabilities and enhancing your creative potential. The Magic Shift Converter (MSC) allows SLR lenses to be adapted to mirrorless cameras, maintaining superior chromatic control and correcting optical distortion. This means you can enjoy the benefits of your Canon SLR lenses on a Nikon Z mirrorless camera, making your equipment more adaptable and versatile. Notably, the MSC can convert the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D into a 17mm f/4 lens with +/- 10mm shift capability, all without any vignetting. This feature is not exclusive to Laowa lenses; it may also work with lenses from other manufacturers, making the MSC a versatile addition to your photography toolkit.The Laowa Magic Shift Converter (MSC) is more than just an adapter. It's a tool that allows you to achieve absolute vertical lines rather than converging lines in your shots, a feature that is particularly useful in architecture and interior photography. The MSC utilizes the short flange distance of mirrorless cameras and incorporates a patented optics system into the converter. This innovative system enlarges the image circle of the 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D from 43.2mm to 60mm in diameter, converting it into a 17mm f/4 lens with +/- 10mm shift capability. The MSC also allows for a 360-degree rotation of the camera, enabling a quick switch between landscape and portrait framing or changing the shift direction. This feature enhances the flexibility and adaptability of your photography setup.The Laowa MSC is composed of 5 elements in 4 groups, including 2 Extra Refractive glasses. This carefully designed optical structure minimizes the impact on the image quality of the Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D, while also reducing chromatic aberrations and distortion of some ultra-wide angle lenses. The Laowa Magic Shift Converter is the first in the Laowa Magic Converter line-up, followed by the Laowa Magic Format Converter (MFC). Like the MSC, the MFC enlarges the image circle of a Full Frame lens, making it compatible with the Fujifilm GFX sensors without any vignetting. In summary, the Venus Laowa Magic Shift Converter MSC for Canon EF to Nikon Z is a versatile, innovative, and essential tool for photographers looking to maximize the potential of their equipment.

The only problem with this is you have to intentionally buy a non Sony mount Laowa 12mm f/2.8 to use it on your Sony E mount. I also use Nikon, so that decision was easy.
Also, since the Laowa 12mm has no electronics, using a dumb adapter for the 12mm is not an issue.
Image quality does not seem to be impacted by using the Magicshift.
Having a compact 12mm f/2.8 AND a 17mm f/4 shift in such a small package is amazing for travel.
Haven't tried using the Magicshift with any other lens yet.
(As a bonus, the 12mm on a D850 worked very well also.)
