Laowa has officially announced the 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift lens. Built for architectural and commercial photography, the full-frame lens also works on Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad XCD medium-format cameras thanks to its large image circle.

With its f/2 aperture, the new Laowa 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift is an especially fast tilt-shift lens. Canon’s 24mm TS-E Tilt-Shift Lens for EF-mount cameras, for example, is an f/3.5 lens. Nikon’s F-mount PC-E 24mm lens is also f/3.5. Fujifilm’s GF 30mm f/5.6 T/S, which is effectively equivalent to about 24mm, is clearly much slower than the new Laowa lens.

Laowa says that thanks to the 24mm f/2 Zero-D Tilt-Shift’s fast f/2 aperture, the fastest aperture of any tilt-shift lens ever made for any format, it is significantly better-suited to low-light and night-sky photography than any other tilt-shift lens before it.

Despite its fast aperture, it’s also a relatively compact and lightweight lens for its class.…
