Designed for Sony FE mount, it offers a closest focusing distance of 0.27 m, 77 mm filter thread, 8.5 cm diameter and 168.5 mm length. Suited for product, still-life and technical photography where perspective control and true macro reproduction are needed.

## Long description

Laowa 55mm f/2.8 Tilt-Shift 1X Macro for Sony FE is a specialist tilt-shift macro lens offering true 1:1 magnification and a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture. Built for full-frame mirrorless bodies, the lens provides a closest focusing distance of 0.27 m, a 77 mm filter thread and a large image circle that also supports use on some medium-format systems. Mechanical controls include a precise tilt of ±10° and a shift of ±12 mm, plus rotation mechanisms to change tilt and shift directions, making this lens suitable where perspective control and life-size reproduction are required.
Advantages
The combination of 1:1 macro reproduction with tilt and shift movements enables both technical and creative image control: selective focus and plane manipulation reduce the need for extensive focus stacking or extreme apertures, while shift correction helps maintain straight lines without perspective distortion. A wide f/2.8 aperture improves low-light performance and subject isolation, and the optical construction (14 elements in 11 groups) is engineered to deliver sharp, detailed images with minimal vignetting. A built-in 77 mm filter thread and included Arca-Swiss compatible lens support add practical convenience for working on a tripod.
Suitable for
Product and still-life photography requiring life-size reproduction
Commercial and studio macro work where perspective control is needed
Architectural photography that requires vertical line correction
Creative photography using tilt for selective focus or miniature effect

How to use
Mount the lens on your Sony FE camera and secure the included Arca-Swiss compatible lens support when shooting from a tripod. Compose using shift adjustments to correct perspective or align frames without moving the camera. Use tilt to change the plane of focus for extended depth of field across a subject plane or to create selective-focus effects; rotate the tilt and shift mechanisms to set the desired direction. For macro work, approach your subject until the lens reaches its closest focus distance of approximately 0.27 m to achieve 1:1 magnification. Stop down the aperture as required for increased depth of field or open to f/2.8 for lower light and subject separation.
Usage recommendations
When shooting reflective subjects or small products, use tilt to control which surfaces fall into the focal plane and reduce unwanted reflections; apply shift to correct perspective in architectural images. For critical-macro detail across a three-dimensional subject, combine careful tilt adjustments with small aperture settings or focus bracketing. Use a sturdy tripod and the included lens support for precise alignment and to minimize camera movement during long exposures or stacking sequences.
