This is not a review, I am simply sharing the raw files which you could cook up your dishes and taste them and draw a conclusion yourself on the lenses which you would like to acquire for similar usage.

Here’s the final (compilations) image circle test:

You can only do it with a shift lens shifting the camera while the lens is stationary, ie simulating having a bigger sensor. A multi row or single row pan can't do that.

Cheers!

Just wondering what the best technique is to use the 32-64mm in situations where correct perspective is required and you do not want excessive foreground? In effect, simulating what a TS-E lens does.

Is it best to tilt up and digitally correct perspective that way? Or is it better to do a wider shot, have verticals straight, then crop into the image?

Both these techniques result in a smaller file but am wondering which is an easier technique and results in less file loss? If cropping into the image, you are losing some on the wide end whereas I feel not so as much as tilting up and then correcting verticals in post.

Would also be nice to be able to see the result on location. I have tried this with the Fuji App and then Photoshop on my phone but to say that is a clunky process is an understatement!

Thanks, look forward to hearing any thoughts :)

The Laowa is significantly better than the Canon, even at just 5mm of shift. Impressive.

Thanks for posting this work!

The Laowa looked interesting to me so I decided to give it a try. I like the focal length for architectural photography and my test results were similar to what @haihan found when comparing it to the 24mm TS-E II. The copy I got is off center though so I'll be sending it back. I may try another one, not sure yet.

You can see how much sharper the right side is compared to the left at f8.

The Canon TS-E 24 works very well for me on a Leica SL3, via the Sigma MC-21 EF-L adapter. Like a native lens, no limitations. Would work equally well also on the SL2 / SL2S bodies - these are now much cheaper second hand but still very competent.
