Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro
The Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro lens (Pentax) is designed to minimise distortion that affects wide-angle lenses through an advanced construction of 12 elements in 9 groups with one extra-low dispersion element and three high refractive index elements. A low-reflection multi-layer coating further improves image quality by reducing the appearance of flare and ghosting. Additionally, when used on APS-C cameras, or in crop mode, the lens offers a vertical shift of +/- 6 mm that can help correct perspective when photographing subjects such as buildings.
Fully manual operation is required with this lens through the use of a physical aperture ring with a range from f/4 to f/32 and a large focus ring. A flat front element provides space for a 77 mm front filter thread, allowing the use of a selection of specialised filters to enhance your scene. Furthermore, it features a 14-blade near-circular aperture for smooth out-of-focus elements and comes with a lens hood.
Features
- Ultra-wide 110° angle of view on full-frame cameras.
- The wide-angle lens offers a 35 mm equivalent focal length of 22.5 mm with an 85° angle of view when used on APS-C camera bodies or in crop modes.
- Wide aperture range from f/4 to f/32.
- The lens construction comprises 12 elements in 9 groups with 3 high refractive index elements and one extra-low dispersion element.
- Minimum focusing distance of 12 cm with a minimum working distance of only 0.5 cm.
- Manual focus and aperture control.
- When used with APS-C cameras, the Laowa 15mm Macro can utilise a vertical shift of +/-6 mm to help correct perspective.
- True 1:1 magnification allows photographers to capture life-size images of their subjects whilst also offering infinity focus for use as a standard wide-angle lens.
- The 14-blade near-circular aperture delivers smooth out-of-focus elements.
- Accepts 77 mm threaded filters.
