Innovative Chinese maker Venus Optics has revealed the world\u2019s widest-angle shift lens, in the form of the Laowa 15mm f\/4.5 Zero-D Shift. Designed for use on both full-frame and medium-format cameras, it provides +\/- 11mm shift via a rotating ring beside the camera mount, with the direction of movement rotatable through 360\u00b0 and click-stopped at every 15\u00b0. As a result, it promises to be an exceptionally powerful tool for architectural photographers.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

The shift movement is controlled by a rotating ring, with a graduated scale on one side<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Optically the lens comprises 17 elements in 10 groups, including three extra-low dispersion glass elements and two aspherical elements to minimise optical aberrations. The \u2018Zero-D\u2019 badge indicates that curvilinear distortion has been practically eliminated, which is essential on this kind of optic. The lens projects its a huge 110\u00b0 angle of view across an image circle that\u2019s 65mm in diameter, which means it easily covers the 44 x 33mm sensor format used by the Fujifilm GFX and Hasselblad X1D systems, while still allowing 8mm of shift.<\/p>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\t\t\t

Both focusing and aperture setting are manual, controlled via rings on the barrel<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Focusing and aperture operation are both manual, via control rings on the main section of the lens barrel. The minimum focus distance is just 20cm, and a 5-blade diaphragm is used to give 10-point sunstars.<\/p>\n

The Laowa 15mm f\/4.5 Zero-D Shift is available to pre-order now for \u00a31249 in Canon EF and RF, Nikon F and Z, and Sony E mounts. It\u2019s due to start shipping at the start of December. An optional tripod collar will also be available for panoramic or macro shooting, which will cost \u00a3159.90.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
