Less insane is this. Only 10 pounds. 600mm f/5.6

There's a mirror 1000mm f/8, if you don't care about the bokeh.

Curious if any one has any experience (even second-hand experience) with either of these lenses on a modern digital camera?

Good news! I had their 17mm/4 on the GFX and was excellent. The 15mm shift was soft, but I think they have since updated its design.

We'll see...

The two shift lenses are interesting. Especially the 20mm.

XCD mounts for other Laowa lenses are also announced for 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift, 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift and 19mm f/2.8 Zero-D.

I have one for sale. In Europe, but can ship.

Can you email me at truegenproductions@gmail.com?

I´m having the same problem with my XCD 30, but is it really a lens hardware issue? As BokehBoy said, the images are exposed correctly and the aperture is set correctly despite the error message.

I have the X1D MKII and the X2D, and I get this error only when using it on the X2D.

As for my case I kept using it until it completely failed to shoot even at wide open. So I think it will eventually fail for your case too. You can probably keep using it until it really requires to be fixed.

and yes, it in fact exists. I have seen one at the Photokina.

This lens was a unique unit built by Zeiss on special order from a rich Emirates amateur.

The XCD converter is specially designed for the XCD135.
With other adapted lenses it is too far from the lens mount and gives huge vignetting (my trials with Zeiss CF 250 SA and Mamiya C 500 RF)

But the Zeiss Mutar 2x copes very well with Zeiss CF telephoto lenses so a relatively common CF 500mm and Mutar 2X gives a nice 1000 mm tele lens.

And Zeiss CF lenses have optical corrections in Hasselblad Phocus software for all X cameras.

I have the 45p and an X1D2 and if you remove the lens and then reattach it often it's a devil to get the camera to recognise the lens again. It says no lens, or lens not recognised. My 65mm XCD lens has no such issues.
