Overview

The Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift Lens features an ultra-wide lens and Integrated +/- 11mm of shift adjustment. The broad 110o angle of view is complemented by an impressive +/- 11mm shift range to compensate for unwanted converging lines and keystone distortion.

Features

New 14 Blades Aperture
Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift is made with a 14-blade aperture, producing 14-point sunstars. Compared to the previous 5-blade aperture version, the sunburst effect with fourteen rays is softer and subtler. Using lenses with different blades, you can create the desired starburst effect in particular scenes. It is critical for architecture photography when there are often strong light sources and reflections on the windows.

World's Widest Shift Lens
The angle of view for Laowa 15mm f/4.5 and f/4.5R Zero-D Shift is 110o with a huge image circle up to 65mm. The ultra-wide angle perspective gives photographers great flexibility to frame the object and background. It is perfect for capturing supertall skyscrapers, magnificent architecture, and interior works.

11mm Shift Amount
The maximum possible shift amount of the lens is 11mm for full-frame cameras and 8mm for medium format cameras (e.g. Fujifilm GFX / Hasselblad X1D). The shift capability allows photographers to capture straight architecture and interiors. By shifting the lens, perspective distortion can be fixed, straightening the lines that appear to converge in the distance. It is incomparable to post-editing or photo cropping, crooked images are corrected by the lens, so a large area on the image can be preserved.

Ready for MEdium Format
With a huge 65mm image circle, the lens works with the full-frame format and covers the medium format sensors. It is the World's Widest lens for medium format with no vignetting. The new Laowa 15mm f/4.5R is now available for Fujifilm GFX mount.

Close-to-Zero Distortion
Composed of 17 elements in 11 groups with 2pcs of aspherical elements. It suppresses the distortion to nearly zero level from corner to corner. It is game-changing for architecture and interior photography as straight and sharp edges can be captured easily.

360o Rotation
The lens is engineered with the rotation function on the barrel, allowing photographers to change the direction of the shift by pressing the silver unlock button conveniently. The lens barrel can be rotated at 360o and it clicks every 15o. It is very user-friendly for composing both landscape and portrait photographs.
