The manual wide-angle shift lens offers minimal distortion and shifts +/- 11mm on full-frame camera systems like the Sony a7 IV. These shifts allow you to have more control over the perspective when shooting photography such as architectural and real estate.

Constructed of 16 elements in 11 groups, this includes two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements.

There’s a 14-blade aperture diaphragm and an aperture range of F4 through to F22. You’ll find an 82mm filter thread at the front of the lens and there’s a 25cm (9.8″) minimum focusing distance.
