Venus Optics reveals its latest shift converter

THE Laowa Magic Shift Converter is a lens adapter that expands the image circle of the Laowa ultra-wide 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D lens and enables the lens to be ‘shifted’ to correct for converging

verticals. The 12mm lens is only available in Canon and Nikon mounts, but this latest addition to the Magic Converter range enables either of these lenses to be attached to a Sony full-frame E-mount camera. www.venuslens.net;$300

Pointing an ultra-wide lens upwards when photographing architecture creates converging verticals. A shift lens – or adaptor – can remedy this.
