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 for Sony E mount is an ideal lens for architectural and interior applications. The 110° angle of view is complemented by an impressive shift range of +/- 11mm to compensate for unwanted converging lines and keystone distortion. This shift control is further enhanced by a 360° rotation mechanism allowing movements to be applied in different directions to suit both horizontal and vertical shooting orientations. Furthermore, as a member of the Zero-D lens series, this 15mm f/4.5 also renders scenes with a high degree of accuracy and very low distortion. In terms of optics, two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements are present, reducing spherical and chromatic aberrations for great sharpness and clarity. An anti-reflection coating also helps to control flare and ghosting for increased contrast and colour rendition. The lens uses a manual focus design to work with subjects as close as 20cm and features a five-blade aperture diaphragm to produce distinctive 10-point star effects. Features - The ultra wide-angle lens is designed for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras but can also be used with APS-C models where it provides an equivalent focal length of 22.5mm. - As a member 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 shift adjustment of +/- 11mm helps to correct perspective distortion and eliminate keystone distortion. - The large 65mm diameter image circle easily covers full-frame sensors without any vignetting. - The shift control works in conjunction with 360° rotation to apply shift in different directions, making it easy to switch between vertical and horizontal shooting orientations, and the rotation mechanism features locking clicks at 15° intervals for intuitive handling. - Two aspherical elements limit spherical aberrations and distortion to improve sharpness and accurate rendering. - Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for increased clarity and colour neutrality. - The enhanced anti-reflection coating eliminates flare and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy when working in bright lighting conditions. - The manual focus design and 20cm minimum focus distance are suited to working with close-up subjects. - The five-blade aperture diaphragm produces distinctive 10-point star effects and specular highlights when stopped down and when photographing point light sources. - Compatible with the optional shift lens bracket for more balanced mounting and to better enable the use of the lens for shift panoramic photography without parallax error.
