laowa 35mm f 2 8 zero d tilt shift 0 5x macro review ProsCons...
Tilt shift lenses are precise, specialized lenses with unique optical properties and capabilities. This is not a point-and-shoot lens for hand-held hipster effects, but a specialized optic that needs to be used carefully on a tripod. That goes with the territory! That said, the Laowa 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt Shift 0.5x Macro is a beautifully engineered optical instrument at a terrific price, and available in multiple mirrorless mounts too – but it has some foibles.
