Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лип 2024
- Welcome to our comparison of two top lenses for architectural photography: the Canon TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II Tilt-Shift and the Laowa 20mm f/4.0 Zero-D Shift. The Canon 24mm is a highly regarded lens in the industry, but with the release of Laowa's latest shift lens, we wanted to see how it stacks up against the competition.
In this video, we'll take a closer look at the key features of each lens, including sharpness, distortion, and flaring.

Nice! :)
Have a good new year!
Thank you for all your continued support, means so much. Happy new year to you too :).
Thanks for the comparison! Did you also use the version one of the 24mm Canon one day and are able to compare it to the second version?
Hi, this was a comparison against the latest version of the 24mm tilt shift from Canon which is version 2 :).
Hope that helps.
Another great shift lens comparison - thanks! I still have my eye on the Laowa 15mm shift lens based on your review of that lens a couple years ago. I noticed Laowa recently upgraded that 15mm shift lens from a 5 blade to 14 blade aperture, presumably for better sunstars. I don't know if other aspects of IQ were improved also. I would like to hear your thoughts on the IQ difference between the new Laowa 20mm shift versus the original Laowa 15mm shift.
Thank you for watching :).
It's difficult to compare the IQ between the lenses cause they're so different in field of view. Flaring seems a little better in the 20mm lens but other then that it's difficult to compare.
Happy new year!
Thank you :). Happy new year to you too.
it looks to me as if Venus Laowa is using a similar glass and coatings as Samyang ... the Samyang 24 was also always more yellow. It would be interesting to find out if one could actually use the Laowa 15/4.5R ( new) and the Samyang 24 together
I'm using the canon 24 with an adapter for a sony a1. the results are good but the edges not so much. I'm thinking maybe due to the flange distance. I'm wondering if this Laowa lens native on the sony would be sharper.
If you’re using an adapter, that could be causing problems too. I know that when I tried Metabones, it was much softer than the Sigma adapter.
Otherwise, a native lens is probably a better option.
I can't wait to buy this for my Nikon Z camera, the DSLR version by Nikon is way out of my price range, but the quality on this seems very good, i shoot external architecture and this is a lens that would help me preserve pixels rather than correct perspective distortion and have to crop.
Thanks for the review!
Would you recommend this laowa as a first lens for a beginner wanting to shoot mainly interiors? Or should I get the 17 or 24?
I would recommend either the Laowa 20mm or the 24mm for beginners.
The laowa is less expensive so its a better option.
@@Sondercreativegreat thanks
Do you ever use the tilt function?
Not for architecture, and not with wide angles. Generally the tilt feature comes in handy for me when shooting with a 45mm or longer lens.
Will you be testing the GFX 30mm TS? It has the potential to be the best TS lens ever made.
Great suggestion. I'll get on to that one. Thank you.
Do you meter with the aperture preview? I presume, as there is no contacts or lever (very old school ;) the lens stops down when you turn the aperture ring?
I would think that given large glass facades that may be oblique to the camera, the tilt would be quite useful for some architectural situations, especially if for instance people, cars, or industrial vibration necessitate a quick shutter speed. I know tilt is very valuable for landscapes. The trick setup is a Rogeti ring clamp so the lens movements become back movements.
I don't generally use any of the metering features in any cameras, I tend to use liveview on an iPad to check exposure instead. Or I just playback the picture and see if I want to make any changes.
The Rogeti clamp is pretty cool but I don't know if it adds anything significant to final results. I did a comparison for myself the the results with the clamp weren't any better of worse.
Tilt is definitely useful if you wanna control the plane of focus.
Thank you for watching :).
heya, how long have you been shooting archi now?
About a decade
@@Sondercreative haha do you work in London too?
@@tmmy. often but I don’t live there :)
@@Sondercreative do you take anyone under your wing :))?
@@tmmy. it’s unlikely right now. Send me an email anyway and we can see if there’s any other kind of help I can offer.
ALSO: what about using a grey card or a color checker card ?????????????????????????
I think a colorchecker passport would probably fix things so that is definitely a good option. For the review I need to demonstrate the performance of the lens without additional help.
@@Sondercreative Thank you so much for clarifying ! What do you think about my speculations regarding Laowa and Samyang using same glass source and similar coating process ( as both produce a very similar yellowish cast when compared to Canon glass ).
