Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift Overview

The Fujifilm G-mount Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift is perfect for architecture and interior photography, offering an exceptionally wide 110° angle of view and the ability to correct for perspective distortion. It has a +/- 8mm shift range to combat converging lines and keystone distortion, and a 360° rotation mechanism for both horizontal and vertical orientation shooting. As part of the Zero-D lens series, this 15mm f/4.5 also ensures scenes are rendered with a high degree of accuracy and low distortion.

In terms of optics, two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements are featured, which reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations for high sharpness and clarity. An anti-reflective coating also helps to control flare and ghosting for heightened contrast and Colour rendering. The lens uses a manual focus design for working with subjects as close a 7.9" away and has a fourteen-blade diaphragm for producing subtle 14-point sun stars.

• Ultra-wide lens is designed for Fujifilm G-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 +/- 8mm 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 Colour fringing for increased clarity and Colour neutrality.
• Updated anti-reflective coating suppresses flare and ghosting for improved contrast and Colour accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions.
• Manual focusing design and a minimum focusing distance of 7.9" suits working with close-up subjects.
• Fourteen-blade diaphragm produces subtle 14-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.
