Precision tilt-shift macro lens
The Venus Optics Laowa 35mm f/2.8 Zero-D Tilt-Shift 0.5x Macro Lens is built for Hasselblad XCD photographers who need perspective correction and close-up capability in a single optic. It suits architectural, landscape, product and fine-art work where converging lines must be straightened and fine detail resolved. The lens combines shift movements with half-life-size magnification for technical and creative control.
Perspective correction and macro upgrade
This lens replaces the need to carry separate tilt-shift and macro optics when shooting with the Hasselblad XCD system. The jump is worth it when a project demands both precise plane-of-focus manipulation and 0.5x magnification without changing lenses. Photographers who only need standard focal-length coverage without movements or close focus will not gain the same advantage.
Shift range and magnification headroom
The design provides +/-8mm of shift for correcting perspective in tall structures or stitching seamless panoramas. Tilt adjustment reaches +/-10 degrees to extend or restrict depth of field across the frame. At 0.5x magnification the lens captures small subjects with high detail, though it stops short of life-size reproduction for extreme macro work.

Questions about this item
What lens diameter do I need for filters on the Laowa 35mm f/2.8?
The lens does not have a published filter thread size in the supplied data.
How do I set the tilt correctly on this lens?
Adjust the +/-10 degree tilt ring while watching the focus plane shift on your Hasselblad XCD live view.
Will the shift mechanism need lubrication later?
The internal shift rails are factory-lubricated and not user-serviceable.
