As the widest shift lens in the world, the Laowa 15mm f4.5R Zero-D lens is perfect for architectural and interior photography. This particular lens has a 14-blade aperture that produces subtle 14-point sunstars and smooth, round bokeh. It can shift ±11mm for full frame cameras and ±8mm for medium format cameras. Anti-glare lens coating and nearly no distortion help to produce high-quality images.

Expanded Laowa 15mm f4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens for Sony E Key Features:

Stunning Architectural Photography

This lens is specifically designed for photographers who capture architecture and interiors. The f4.5R lens has a maximum possible shift of ±11mm shift for full-frame cameras and ±8mm for medium format cameras. Shifting the lens fixes any perspective distortion and straightens any lines that converge in the distance within the frame. The shift also allows photographers to expand their canvas by stitching together multiple images, giving way to unique compositions and spectacular panoramas.

With 17 elements in 11 groups and 2pcs aspherical elements, distortion is reduced almost entirely throughout the entire frame. It means the straight lines and sharp edges of architectural and interior subjects can easily be captured. A new anti-flare lens coating dramatically improves on any chromatic aberration, flaring and ghosting.

14-Blade Aperture

Whilst the blue-ringed f4.5 lens features 5 blades, this red-ringed f4.5R lens has a 14-blade aperture. This produces softer and more subtle sunstars with 14 rays than the harsher 10-point sunstars of the blue-ringed lens. The benefits of the new aperture don’t stop there, as bokeh in out-of-focus backgrounds are more rounded and visually appealing - particularly in urban scenes at night.

World’s Widest Shift Lens

The Laowa f4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens has the widest angle of any shift lens with a massive 110° angle of view and 65mm image circle. It makes the f4.5R lens perfect for shooting towering skyscrapers, beautiful architecture and gorgeous interiors, as the ultra-wide angle affords photographers the flexibility to frame the object and background as they please. The 65mm image circle allows the lens to be used with medium format sensors as well as full-frame sensors. There is no vignetting when shifting a medium format sensor at ±8mm.

FAQs:

What is the difference between this 15 mm f4.5R lens and the f4.5 version?

The Laowa f4.5 Zero-D shift lens only has a five-blade diaphragm whilst this f4.5R lens has a 14-blade diaphragm. This allows users to capture 14-point sunstars. Otherwise, the two lens have the exact same features.

What cameras are the f4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens compatible with?

The f4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens have several variants for compatibility with Canon EF, Canon RF Nikon F, Nikon Z, Sony E, L-Mount and Pentax K mounts.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.

During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.

Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
