No experience with the lens.

The fl is a physical lens parameter. It is independent from the sensor.

You can say that a 24 mm lens on an APS-C body is equivalent to a 36 mm lens on a FF body when it comes to the angle of view.

Laowa has a 20 mm f/4 zero distortion shift lens btw, https://www.laowalenses.ca/product/20mm-f-4-zero-d-shift/

Hi thnx for your reply.

the Laowa is a G mount unfortunately. Upgrading to gfx is a bit out of budget.

No no. That's not the way it works.

The lens is available for a number of mounts, including Fujifilm-G.

When using it with a medium format body (a Fujifilm GFX camera), you have a bit less degree of shift. But it is possible from the image circle.

Order that lens in any mount such as Canon-EF or Nikon-F, and buy a cheap passive (dumb) adapter for conversion into Fujifilm-X. Such adapters are available from $ 20 or so.

Ohhh I see what you mean now. Since it is manual anyway a dumb adapted does just fine. 
At this point - since I’m aiming for using it for interiors as well - the Laowa 15mm seems like a better choice even. Or am I overlooking something obvious again?
