I've never used a shift lens before. Until now, taking pictures of tall buildings involved using an ultra-wide lens (sometimes even at 10mm on a full-frame camera). I'd then adjust the distortion and try to straighten the verticals.
It worked for the most part, but it was often a compromise having to cut out portions of the image. After using the Laowa 15mm f4. 5 Zero-D for a few weeks, I can't see myself taking photos of architecture or interiors using any other lens. The ability to shift perspective to capture images of buildings is mind-blowing. And at this price point, even with the lack of autofocus, it's a lens that I would recommend to any architecture photographer. Once you get the hang of using it, you won't return to regular lenses for this kind of work. . thephoblographer.com
