With a minimum focusing distance of 9 inches and a maximum magnification of 0.5x, this lens delivers the versatility required to create stunning and detailed images.

Wide Tilt-Shift Lens

This lens provides a tilt of approximately ±10° and a shift of ±8mm, allowing for the correction of perspective distortion and the manipulation of focus. With a 35mm focal length, it captures a broad perspective, making it particularly suitable for immersive architectural and tabletop photography. The tilt feature enables the creation of either a wide, sharp focus extending to the horizon or a narrow, selective focus that produces a 'miniature' effect. Additionally, the shift function can be employed to correct perspective and facilitate the capture of multiple images for panoramic stitching. Furthermore, the lens can rotate 360° in increments of 15°.

Macro Functionality

With a minimum focusing distance of 9 inches and a magnification rate of 0.5x, this lens is ideally suited for product and macro photography. The ±10° tilt functionality allows you to precisely select what you wish to keep in focus.

As a member of the Zero-D series, this lens features an optical design that produces images with minimal distortion, making it suitable for architectural, interior, and landscape photography. Additionally, a water-repellent "frog eye" coating safeguards the front lens element against water droplets and moisture.
