Official Website

This is the cine version of the Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift. Laowa publishes one set of figures for all mounts and does not list L-mount-specific ones, so weight (1150 g) and dimensions (Ø119.2 mm × 93.4 mm) are as published; the lens ships in PL mount by default with an interchangeable L-mount bayonet.
