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 for Nikon Z mount is ideal for architectural and interior applications. The wide 110° angle of view is complemented by an impressive shift range of +/- 11 mm to compensate for unwanted converging lines and keystone distortion. This shift control is further enhanced by a 360° rotation mechanism applying movements in different directions to accommodate horizontal and vertical shooting orientations. Additionally, as a member of the Zero-D series, this 15mm f/4.5 lens also renders scenes with great accuracy and very low distortion.
Optically, two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements are present, which reduces spherical and chromatic aberrations for improved sharpness and clarity. An anti-reflection coating also helps control flare and ghosting for better contrast and colour reproduction. The lens uses a manual focus design to work with subjects as close as 20 cm and features a five-blade aperture to produce distinctive 10-pointed sunstars.

Features
- The ultra wide-angle lens is designed for Nikon Z FX-format mirrorless cameras, but can also be used with DX models where it offers an equivalent focal length of 22.5 mm.
- As a member of the Zero-D series, this lens features a rectilinear design that renders subjects with minimal distortion, suitable for architectural, interior, and landscape applications.
- The built-in +/- 11 mm shift adjustment helps correct perspective distortion and eliminate keystone distortion.
- The large 65 mm image circle easily covers full-frame sensors without vignetting.
- The shift control works in conjunction with 360° rotation to apply shift in different directions, facilitating the transition between vertical and horizontal shooting orientations, and the rotation mechanism features clicks every 15° 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 colour fringing for increased clarity and colour neutrality.
- The improved anti-reflection coating suppresses flare and ghosting for better contrast and colour accuracy when working in bright lighting conditions.
- The manual focus design and a minimum focus distance of 20 cm are suited to working with close-up subjects.
- The five-blade aperture produces distinctive 10-pointed sunstars and specular highlights when stopping down and photographing point light sources.
- Compatible with the optional lens shift bracket for more balanced mounting and to better enable use of the lens for parallax-free shift panoramic photography.
