Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is there a hard stop at infinity? If so, how accurate is "infinity"? (Nikon-Nex)

A: yes there is

Q: 2. Does this produce optical flare? I found other bulbous lenses have issues with flare in the form of colored spots opposite strong light sources.

A: Flaring can occur when using the lens aimed or directly hit by a focused light source at certain angles, but the flare is managed quite well compared to other lenses as the lens has an anti-reflective coating also helps to control flare and ghosting for heightened contrast and color rendering. If the light source is in the frame, flare is controlled rather well. If the flare is on the edge of the frame, it may be more noticeable, but can usually be reduced/eliminated by slightly recomposing the framing of your image.

Q: 3. Where would we find MFT Charts (ideally at various apertures bc I heard it's quite soft wide open; much better 2 stops down?)

A: The MFT chart for the Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens for FUJIFILM GFX can be found on the Venus Optics website. Please take a look at the following link: https://bhpho.to/3RcFLQh

Q: 4. Is this lens adaptable to a GH5?

A: Unfortunately, this lens cannot be adapted to the Panasonic GH5.

Q: 5. the teleconverters do work on the canon 17mm, 24mm tilt shift lenses so are you saying they do not work on the Laowa?

A: Canon only recommends the use of their teleconverters on specific L-series telephoto lenses, and attempting to connect them to a lens for which it is not designed may damage the front element on the teleconverter, the rear element on the lens, or both. We cannot test and cannot confirm if the Canon teleconverter may be used with this lens. If you own a Canon teleconverter, you may try to test it at your own risk, but do note that damage to either item would not be covered by either Canon or Venus Optics.

Q: 6. can be used at daylight?

A: The screen for the Bushnell 4.5x40 Equinox Z2 Digital Night Vision Monocular displays color images during the day, and black and white when the night vision is on.

Q: 7. It appears from the description that this lens is not a true tilt/shift lens, only a shift lens. How is this even useful?

A: This Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift lens does not offer tilt options; it is, as the name implies, a shift lens only. It's a specialty lens used for certain effects.

Q: 8. I am very curious about the final bullet in the lens overview: "Compatible with optional Shift Lens Support for more balanced mounting and to better enable using the lens for shift-type stitched panorama shooting without parallax error." Is there an additional shift option?

A: The shift lens support (https://bhpho.to/36d359d) doesn't offer any additional shifting of the lens plane, but allows mounting via the lens, allowing for an easier time with parallax correction during multi-stitch panoramas.

Q: 9. Will the FE version of this lens include auto focus?

A: All Venus Optics lenses are manual focus only.

Q: 10. Dose this lenses have filter holder? Any recommend filter holder?

A: According to Venus Optics Laowa, their website lists the 100mm magnetic zero-d filer holder set as being compatible with both the 15mm f/4.5 and 15mm f/4.5R (red ring) versions of this lens: https://bhpho.to/3yofa8o
