The Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens offers a shift capability of ±8mm for medium format cameras. This makes it an ideal choice for architectural photography, as it allows for capturing sky-high buildings from different perspectives effortlessly. With an angle of view of 110 degrees and a φ65mm image circle, it stands out as the widest shift lens available for full frame cameras.
Being part of the Laowa Zero-D series, the 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift lens is not only suitable for architectural photography but also excels in landscape photography. Its construction consists of 17 elements arranged in 11 groups, featuring a new lens coating that significantly improves chromatic aberration, flaring, and ghosting.
In addition to its wide perspective, the 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift lens offers a closest focusing distance of 20cm, enabling the creation of macro-like photos with ease.
Photographers can change the direction of shift by utilising the rotation function of the lens. This allows for a full 360-degree rotation, with the lens clicking every 15 degrees to assist in precise adjustments.
