The Canon RF-mount Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift lens from Venus Optics combines an exceptionally wide field of view with the capability to correct perspective distortion, making it an excellent choice for architectural and interior photography. With a remarkable 110° angle of view and a shift range of +/- 11mm, it effectively addresses issues such as converging lines and keystone distortion. The lens also features a 360° rotation mechanism, allowing for versatile adjustments in both horizontal and vertical orientations. As part of the Zero-D lens series, this 15mm f/4.5 model delivers images with a high level of accuracy and minimal distortion.
From an optical perspective, the lens incorporates two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements, which work together to minimize both spherical and chromatic aberrations, ensuring exceptional sharpness and clarity. An anti-reflective coating is applied to reduce flare and ghosting, enhancing contrast and color fidelity. The lens is designed for manual focus, enabling close-up work with subjects as near as 7.9 inches, and features a five-blade diaphragm that creates distinct 10-point sun stars.
- Ultra-wide lens is designed for Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras.
- As part of the Zero-D series, this lens has a rectilinear design that renders subjects with minimal distortion in order to suit architectural, interior, and landscape applications.
- Integrated +/- 11mm of shift adjustment helps to correct perspective distortion and eliminate keystone distortion.
- Large 65mm-diameter image circle easily covers full-frame sensors without any vignetting.
- The shift control works in conjunction with 360° of rotation for applying the shift in various directions, benefitting switching 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.
- Updated anti-reflective coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and color accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
- Manual focusing design and a minimum focusing distance of 7.9" suits working with close-up subjects.
- Five-blade diaphragm produces distinct 10-point sun stars and specular highlights when stopped-down and photographing point light sources.
- Compatible with optional Shift Lens Support for more balanced mounting and to better enable using the lens for shift-type stitched panorama shooting without parallax error.
