Venus Optics is offering photographers the first native option to get started in the world of wide-angle macro photography with the Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro Lens, available here for full-frame Canon EF-mount cameras. Before now, wide-angle macro required the use of extension tubes and other workarounds, but now the Laowa 15mm Macro offers true 1:1 magnification without the hassle. The ultra-wide perspective on full-frame cameras allows users to get exceptionally close to their subjects with a minimum focus distance of just 4.7", and have them fill the frame, while still capturing the background for more informative scenes. Internal focusing further assists by not disturbing your subject, even when you reach the 0.2" minimum working distance.

question
So this lens can be used for major photography purposes (like architectural) beside macro?
Yes, that lens can be used for architectural shots. If you use the lens on an APS-C sensor camera you get the benefits of the lens being able to shift for perspective.

Is this TOTALLY manual, i.e. - no info at all translated to the camera? If so, how do you know what shutter speed to set at any given aperture with no exposure info? Thanks.
This lens is pretty much all manual, however, the camera can still read light coming into the sensor so you could still adjust your settings accordingly.

What happens when you mount the Canon EF lens ...
What happens when you mount the Canon EF lens version on a adapter to suit it to a Sony A7iii camera? The image quality changes and the aperture range changes correct?
The image quality usually doesn't change much when using an adapter and the exposure doesn't either. Most adapters don't support autofocus, so if you put an autofocus lens on with an adapter, you might have to focus manually. There are good adapters for Canon mount lenses that will support autofocus on a Sony camera.

Is there any downside or degradation in quality ...
Is there any downside or degradation in quality if you use this lens on a Canon mirrorless with the EF adapter?
An adapter just helps you to mount the Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/4 Macro Lens for Canon EF
BH #VE1540C lens on the camera and doesn't have a glass on it. Hence the quality remains same. This is a manual focus lens.

question
How is shift limited to aps-c? Can it be overridden?
Likely on a larger sensor the circular field of view (edge) becomes visible on one side. So image will only extend to two corners falling off at the other two corners.
