Laowa 12-24mm f/5.6 Zoom Shift CF 24mm
The Laowa 12-24mm f/5.6 Zoom Shift CF lens uses three extra-low dispersion elements and +/-7mm shift to deliver perspective correction on APS-C Canon EF-M bodies with a 19-38mm equivalent zoom range. It also achieves a close-focus distance of 150mm and 1:2.5 magnification, making it a versatile tool for product details despite the fixed f/5.6 aperture. This manual-focus lens is ideal for architectural and real-estate photographers needing shift control, supplemented by occasional macro-style product shooting.
