Laowa 20mm T4.1 Zero‑D Shift Cine Camera Lens

The Laowa 20mm T4.1 Zero‑D Shift Cine is a wide‑angle, perspective‑control cine prime built for full‑frame and VistaVision cameras. A large Ø65.2 mm image circle and Zero‑Distortion optical design keep verticals straight and lines clean, making it ideal for architecture, interiors, VFX plates, and large‑format cinematography.

Its integrated shift mechanism offers up to ±11 mm (FF) for in‑camera perspective correction, expanding the field of view to 117° when shifted. Professional cine housing features 0.8‑mod gears on focus, iris, and shift rings, dual (metric/imperial) scales, and a robust Ø114 mm front diameter for matte‑box use. Interchangeable bayonet mounts are available separately to adapt the PL version to EF/RF/E/Z/L.
