Versatile, Wide Tilt-Shift Prime. The Venus Laowa 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt-Shift 0.5x Macro’s wide focal length makes it an excellent choice for immersive architectural photography and tabletop shooting alike. Its +/-10° tilt range gives you extensive control over the focal plane, letting you capture sweeping, razor-sharp images and shots with an artistic, toy-like miniature effect with ease. You can use the +/- 12mm shift range to help compensate for converging lines, eliminate keystone distortion, and take multiple shots for panoramic stitching.

See the Microcosm in Macro Vision. If you want to capture a subject’s most minute details at close range, the 35mm has you covered. Its 9-inch minimum focusing distance and 0.5x maximum magnification mean it’s a great product-photography solution. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can combine its macro and tilt-shift functions to manipulate focus, blur, and depth of field to produce très artsy macro shots.

You’ve Gotta Look Sharp! This lens’s twelve-group/fourteen-element Zero-D optical design produces ultra-sharp, clear, and virtually distortion-free images across the entire focal length while helping to eliminate chromatic aberrations and color fringing.

Built for Real-World Shooting. The 35mm f/2.8 has an integrated Arca-Swiss compatible lens support for fast, easy mounting in your workflow, while its 77mm front filter thread allows you to use a wide array of filters without the need for unwieldy adapters. You can rotate this lens 360°, and there are click stops at 15° increments for intuitive adjustments. Finally, the front element’s water-, debris-, and moisture-resistant Frog-Eye coating keeps you working in a range of shooting conditions.
