Laowa Lens 100mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift Macro 1x

The Laowa 55mm and 100mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift Macro 1X lenses stand out as versatile solutions combining precision and functionality. Designed for hybrid full-frame and medium-format cameras, they offer unique features such as ±10° tilt and ±12 mm shift capabilities. This provides advanced control over the focal plane and perspective, enabling photographers to achieve perfect compositions.

Their macro design allows up to 1X magnification, making them ideal for various scenarios: macro photography, product photography, landscapes, and architecture. While not the lightest lenses, with the Laowa 55mm weighing 1345 grams and the 100mm at 1215 grams, their robust build is compensated by impressive optical design. The 55mm has 14 elements in 11 groups, and the 100mm features 13 elements in 10 groups, ensuring impeccable image quality, even with 77 mm filters.

Both lenses are compatible with full-frame mirrorless cameras with mounts such as L, Canon RF, Nikon Z, Sony E, and even medium-format sensors like Fujifilm GFX (with some adjustment limitations). Their aperture ranges from f2.8 to f22, and the minimum focus distances are 25 cm for the 55mm and 32 cm for the 100mm. Additionally, both lenses feature a 15-blade diaphragm, perfect for achieving unique bokeh effects.

These tilt-shift lenses not only revive a photographic style rarely explored in recent years but also allow perspective corrections directly in-camera. For those seeking precision, versatility, and tools capable of adapting to diverse scenarios, the Laowa 55mm and 100mm are a solid and recommended investment.
