Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift Lens

Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift is currently the world’s widest shift lens for full-frame cameras and medium format cameras. It comes with 5 blades (in blue ring) and 14 blades (in red ring) aperture. The amount of shift is 11mm for full frame cameras and 8mm for medium format cameras. The lens is perfect for architectural and interior photography. The sky-high buildings can be captured in a corrected perspective easily. Image quality is guaranteed with high image sharpness and nearly no distortion (Zero-D). 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift enriches the diversity of Laowa’s extensive wide-angle lens collection by giving photographers more control over the perspective in their images.
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 architectural photography when there are often strong light sources and reflections on the windows. The new lens aperture also offers different shapes of bokeh and flares in the photographs. 15mm f/4.5R creates round bokeh on the out-of-focus backgrounds. It is smoother and hence more appealing in the night-view city scenes.
