Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift (Nikon Z) lens

The world's widest-angle Shift lens for full-frame cameras!

The large drawing circle on full-frame cameras allows for a shift capability of +-11m, meaning you can correct the perspective of buildings right during the shooting process. You can also create high-quality panoramic images by taking a picture at both extreme positions and combining the images in post-processing.

• Shift = move the center of the lens relative to the center of the sensor
• 360 degree rotatable shift element
• minimal optical distortion
• Manual
• Clicks for full gaps

Whether your goal is to achieve straight vertical lines and correct perspective or to emphasize these distortions, the Laowa 15mm Zero-D Shift will help you achieve the desired result.

The lens shift element can be rotated 360 degrees. Clicks in 15-degree increments make it easy to find the right angle. The rotation also allows you to shoot panoramas, for example.

By taking a picture in both extreme positions of the shift element and combining the images in image processing, you get a panorama covering approximately 160-170 degrees without perspective distortion. This shooting method works for both vertical and horizontal panoramas. And you can also take the pictures in different directions in both positions to get a very wide composite image.

The Zero-D in the lens' name refers to the almost non-existent optical distortion that is common with wide-angle lenses. This means that lines remain almost straight even at the edges of the image with this lens.

The lens aperture ring has clear clicks that make it easy to select the desired aperture. This means you don't necessarily have to look at the aperture selected, but can focus on composing the image while adjusting the exposure with a touch of a button.
