Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift - Sony FE

Pairing an exceptionally wide field of view with the ability to correct perspective distortion, the Sony E-mount Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift is ideal for architectural and interior photography. The broad 110° angle of view is complemented by an impressive +/- 11mm shift range to compensate for unwanted converging lines and keystone distortion. This shift control is enhanced by a 360° rotation mechanism, allowing movements in various directions to suit both horizontal and vertical orientation shooting. As part of the Zero-D lens series, this 15mm f/4.5 renders scenes with high accuracy and very 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 the 14-blade diaphragm creates outstanding sunstars when working at higher apertures.

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.

Upgraded 14-blade diaphragm creates outstanding sunstars when working at higher apertures and improves the quality of out-of-focus areas.

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.

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.
