Laowa is launching its first tilt-shift lenses for full-frame cameras, the 55mm and 100mm f/2.8 TS Macro 1X, and will showcase them at the Bright Festival of Photography in northern Victoria this weekend.

The lenses, which combine both tilt and shift functionality with 1:1 macro capability, will be available in mounts for Sony E, Nikon Z, Canon RF, Fujifilm GFX, L mount, and XCD mount. Minimum focusing distances are 83mm for the 55mm lens and 140mm for the 100mm lens. Both have aperture ranges from f/2.8 to f/22 and both are manual focus lenses. They are also dust and splash-proof, allowing for use in a wide range of conditions. They will offer a tilt range of +/-10° and a shift range of +/-12mm on full-frame bodies, although these parameters will be slightly less when they are built for medium format cameras. The target launch date for the new lenses has been  set for 17 December 2024. Click here to explore the range of Laowa lenses available in Australia.
