Laowa Updated its Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift for GFX which was announced last year in October. You can get the updated 14 blade aperture lens here.
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 the 5 blades (in blue ring) and 14 blades (in red ring) aperture. The amount of shift is ±11mm for full frame camera 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 on the perspective in their images.
Anhui China, Apr 11, 2022 – Venus Optics revealed a red ring version of its TIPA Awards winning 15mm Shift Lens. This new Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift equipped with 14-blades aperture. Upholding the edge of being the widest shift lens for both full-frame cameras and medium format cameras in the market, the new version provides one more artistic option to photographers. In the meantime, Laowa also announced Fujifilm G mount for both Blue and Red Ring version, Meaning most camera system can use Laowa’s Shift lens without any adaptors (Including their newly released 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift).
Key Features:
14-Point Sunstars
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. By offering lenses with different blades, the photographers can choose the desired starburst effect in particular scenes. It is critical for architecture photography when there are often strong light sources and reflections on the windows.
The lens aperture also has an impact on the shape of bokeh in the photographs. The new red ring version creates round bokeh on the out-of-focus backgrounds. It is smoother and hence more appealing in the night-view city scenes. Read More
