[Key Specifications]
Equipped with a “shift mechanism” to correct distortion
By sliding (shifting) the lens up, down, left, or right, you can correct distortion so that buildings—such as skyscrapers—appear straight and vertical when photographed from below, rather than appearing compressed.

An impressive “wide angle of view and image circle” for medium format 6x7
This user-friendly semi-wide-angle lens has a focal length equivalent to approximately 37mm in 35mm format. It features an image circle (projection area) far larger than that of a standard lens, ensuring that light reaches all the way to the corners of the frame even when shifted.

“High Resolution” Ideal for Landscape and Architectural Photography
Distortion is minimized to the utmost extent, delivering sharp rendering all the way to the edges of the frame. As a result, this renowned lens has been highly valued by professional photographers and enthusiasts who take their time capturing architectural and landscape shots from a tripod.
