Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift
Combining an exceptionally wide field of view with the ability to correct perspective distortion, the Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift lens with Canon EF mount is ideal for architectural and interior applications. The wide 110° angle of view is complemented by an impressive +/- 11mm shift range to compensate for unwanted converging lines and keystone distortion. This shift control is further enhanced by a 360° rotation mechanism applying movements in various directions to accommodate both horizontal and vertical shooting orientations. Additionally, as part of the Zero-D lens series, this 15mm f/4.5 also renders scenes with a high degree of precision and very little distortion.
Optically, two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements are present, which reduces both spherical and chromatic aberrations for enhanced sharpness and clarity. An anti-reflective coating also helps control flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color rendering. The lens uses a manual focus design to work with subjects as close as 7.9" and features a five-blade diaphragm to produce distinct 10-pointed sunstars.

Features
- The ultra-wide lens is designed for full-frame Canon EF cameras, but can also be used with APS-C models where it provides an equivalent focal length of 24mm.
- As part of the Zero-D series, this lens has a rectilinear design that renders subjects with minimal distortion to suit architectural, interior, and landscape applications.
- The built-in +/- 11mm shift adjustment helps correct perspective distortion and eliminate keystone distortion.
- The large 65mm diameter image circle easily covers full-frame sensors without any vignetting. Additionally, this lens can also be adapted to medium format mirrorless cameras (44 x 33mm sensor), where up to +/- 8mm of shift is available.
- The shift control works in conjunction with 360° rotation to apply shift in various directions, making it easy to switch between vertical and horizontal shooting orientations, and the rotation mechanism has click stops at 15° increments for intuitive handling.
- Two aspherical elements limit spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
- Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and color neutrality.
- The updated anti-reflective coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and enhanced color accuracy when working in bright lighting conditions.
- The manual focus design and a minimum focusing distance of 7.9" suit working with close-up subjects.
- The five-blade diaphragm produces distinct 10-pointed sunstars and specular highlights when stopped down and photographing point light sources.
- Compatible with the optional shift lens support for more balanced mounting and to better enable using the lens for parallax-free shift panorama shooting.
