A Weird and Wonderful lens.

An email dropped into my inbox today announcing a strange new lens from Laowa.

They have put together the worlds first zoom shift lens. Its a 12-24 for APS ( that's 18-36 in FF land).

I have the 12mm Laowa FF shift lens and it is a very good performer. This new 12-24 seems to be optically quite good, but it is fully manual. Pity it is a APS lens, it would make a pretty cool Architectural travel lens, if I used that format.

From the publicity mail I got.

It has some slight optical downsides according to the linked review, but lens design is moving forward.

It costs €720, which is not expensive in the Shift Lens world.
