- I had a chance to compare the NEW Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift Lens to the Canon TS-E 24mm Tilt-Shift Lens, and I was very surprised at the results!

Something about your face is really nice:) You sound genuine & i appreciated this review. thankyou
Thanks for watching!
And that's really the important thing in a video like this. smh
Definitely nice to have you guys back. I don't even have a need for such equipment but you show it in a way that I find interesting and useful. Now I am looking to see where I can apply the tech. But, as a side note, have either of you ever looked into the use of Point and Shoot cameras like the Sony RX 100 or the Canon GX 5 Mark II? TYI JB
We have been primarily DSLR users. Nowadays we have the Canon M50 which is just about the size of a point shoot with some of the smaller lenses on it. It is nice to have a small camera with you sometimes but I find that my cell phone usually is good enough in a pinch. Bill
Great video!
Thank you!
hey guys, speaking of tilt shift lenses, i recently got an M42 to eos-m tilt shift adapter for my M50, as we know t&s lenses can and usually do cost quite a bit,
the adapter was £100 and its a pretty decent one, rotates too so you can t&s in any direction and being an adapter i can now use any of my vintage M42 mount lenses, pretty sweet.
one of the cool features of the adapter is you can also rotate the screw mount bezel so you can align the lens itself to top so the controls are where you used to them being
surprised you only showed the one image from the lens out shooting,
Laowa make some very sharp macro lenses, i have the ef 100mm 2:1 macro and the efm 65mm 2:1 macro along with the efm 9mm zeroD lens
i do like the look of their new tube macro lens with the peri design but that is high end money
Thanks Laura I’ll have to check out that adapter it seems like a nice option!
I was pretty surprised at how good the Laowa lens is!
Will you make another one comparing the 15mm vs cannon 17? I'm considering trying architectural photography and both this one and either the 15 or 17 are calling to me.
Good to hear from you guys again! Love the Long Island backgrounds! Been away for too long (18 yrs) and the lens looks very nice. Have you tried to use it for the "miniature" effect?
It's definitely a nice lens. Yes I have It's a very cool effect!
@@BillEricPhotography That's weird. As a shift-only lens, it doesn't do the "miniature" effect.
Thanks so much for this series of videos, it’s been super helpful! I’ve got a project and trying to decide between the 15mm Laowa and 17mm Canon. What is the difference between shifting the lens on the camera and putting the lens in these special collars that mount to an Arca Swiss and shifting the camera body so that the lens stays in place and the body shifts? Is this better for stitching or for video work since the lens remains stationary?
For any type of shifting you want a lens designed for shifting, it produces a much larger image circle and the quality is going to be good all the way into the corners.
@@BillEricPhotography Sorry my question was unclear. I was referring to something like this design specifically for shift lenses: czcams.com/video/JKO_flTrbgs/video.html This is for the Laowa but they also have a few types for the Canon TSE lenses.
Oh interesting. I don’t see any difference or advantage to using a collar like that. Just something else to have to carry around.
7:09 this only works in one particular scenario - when your "wider" lens is a good lens and your "shift" lens is pure shit )
it's a photography basics. if you can resize your photo down by 50% and then enlarge back to the original with no loss in detail it means that your lens is so bad that it not resolve your camera sensor.
I don't understand why someone who doesn't think you need a shift lens is reviewing one.
I never suggested that you don’t need a shift lens. I mentioned that you could achieve the same effect in editing IF you were able to back up or use a wider lens. And I referred to the link to that video I did comparing the two methods so that people can decide for themselves. Very different than thinking you don’t need a shift lens. I have and use a shift lens every single day.
