Description

Product Highlights

Maximum ±11mm Shift Capability

The Laowa 15mm T4.8 Shift Cine lens offers a maximum shift of ±11mm for full-frame sensors and ±9mm for Vista Vision sensors. This unique feature allows filmmakers to correct converging lines, ensuring straight, distortion-free architecture and interiors. Whether you’re shooting towering skyscrapers or intricate interior designs, this lens maintains perfect perspective without the need for tilting the camera.

Usage 1 : Perspective Control

Unlike any other standard lens that cinematographers need to tilt the camera upwards to capture tall buildings and converging lines will appear, a shift lens can maintain straight architecture and interiors without changing the camera’s perspective.

Usage 2 : Eliminating Reflections

By shifting the lens, the position of the camera can be hidden away, achieving a clean and reflection-free shot.

Huge Image Circle

The image circle of the 15mm T4.8 is Ø65.2 mm to accommodate the shift function. This lens serves as a new and compelling option for large-format camera users. It covers RED V-Raptor 8K Vista Vision 17:9 (Ø46.31mm), Blackmagic URSA Cine 17K 65 (Ø65mm) & ARRI Alexa 65 (Ø59.86mm).
