The Laowa 20mm T4.1 Zero-D Shift Cine lens is a groundbreaking tool for cinematographers, offering ±11mm of shift capability—a first in the cine lens world. This unique functionality allows filmmakers to correct perspective distortion in-camera, keeping vertical lines straight and architectural subjects true-to-life without tilting the lens. Ideal for interiors, tall structures, or layered environments with reflections and depth, the 20mm Shift Cine lens ensures professional, balanced compositions that reduce post-production cleanup.
Built with Zero-Distortion optics, the 20mm T4.1 preserves clean, straight lines across its expansive 94.4° angle of view (117° when shifted), making it a powerful choice for visual effects, precise framing, and immersive storytelling. A close focusing distance of 25cm supports dramatic foreground emphasis and macro-style shots, while the high-performance optical formula (16 elements in 11 groups, including aspherical and ED elements) minimizes chromatic aberration and maintains outstanding sharpness across the frame. Covering full-frame sensors with a generous 65.2mm image circle, the lens is available in PL mount with interchangeable options for EF, RF, Z, L, and E (available separately here: Laowa Zero-D Shift Mount Kit) —making it an essential, flexible addition to any serious cinematographer’s kit.
