Venus Optics Laowa 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift Lens (Hasselblad X)

Combining class-leading maximum aperture with precise perspective and focus plane control, the Laowa 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift Lens from Venus Optics provides a 19mm full-frame equivalence for medium format Hasselblad X-mount cameras and is designed for applications that demand architectural accuracy. Its ±12mm shift capability allows photographers to correct converging vertical lines directly in-camera, while the ±10° tilt adjustment enables manipulation of the focus plane for expanded depth-of-field control or creative miniature-style effects. Laowa's Zero-D optical design minimizes distortion at the source, producing clean, natural geometry across the frame.

 

The optical system incorporates 13 elements in 10 groups, including extra-low dispersion, ultrahigh refraction, and aspherical elements to maintain sharpness and clarity across wide compositions. A 14-blade iris renders smooth out-of-focus areas, while the manual focus design allows precise control down to a close focusing distance of 9.8". Designed for professional workflows, the lens includes a built-in 360° rotating tripod support with an integrated Arca-type plate and sports a standard 77mm front filter thread.
