Rated 3 out of 5

Good lens, iffy lens hood.

It?s a good lens but the lack of any kind of electronic controls kills it for me. Better off buying an AF lens. Also, the lens hood is nice because it?s metallic, but it just doesn?t fit to the lens well. Mine felt loose and it didn?t really lock in when turned.

Love this lens!

What an incredible lens! When they say Zero D, they really do mean zero distortion or very close to it. My previous wide angle lens always needed a lot of vertical adjustment in lightroom which ended up requiring a crop which then reduced the wide angle view. Not with this lens! It?s pretty much WYSIWYG! Also, the sharpeness of the lens is impeccable. There is some vignetting but it?s to be expected on such a wide focal length and it is easily corrected in Lightroom using the vignetting slider. It makes beautiful starbursts too.

Great Lens!

Really great lens. Great build quality and remarkable images. Still some distortion, but very minimal. Focus throw feels great, and so does the aperture ring. Also like how the aperture has a function to deactivate the click. Great overall lens.

Manual but low distortion

Sharp; for horizontal shots little barrel distortion compared to fish eye. More Vignetting than I had hoped for. I warmed up to the manual focus and aperture control. Overall a good choice for a fast wide field lens

Good for night sky

Bought it mostly for night sky photography. The manual focus ring is smooth and build feels pretty good. at F2 vignette is noticeable at night however I don't think this is a big issue. Lightroom can easily correct it. It is lighter and significantly smaller compared to my old Rokinon 14mm. Overall I think this is an excellent choice!

Sharp and lightweight low light performer

Beautiful lens. Lightweight and sharp. No distortion. Great for photos and video. Photos at f8 are great. Shooting real estate videos at f2 was a breeze

Your first and last wide angle! If autofocus isn’t your thing.

Perfect lens. I switched from my rokinon 14mm 2.8. I switched mainly for the extra stop when shooting Astro and since I plan on making videos for real estate and love the zero-D it’s not perfect but it’s damn close. Only noticed the distortion at awkward angles but when held equal axis it’s perfect! Only complaint would be no autofocus but I knew what my uses are and it does just that. And an obvious reason why it’s cheaper than autofocus lenses.

Amazing wide angle lens with great performance.

The Laowa D-Dreamer 15mm F2 is an amazing lens for wide angle shots. I am very pleased with its performance and it is very fun to shoot. The extra accessories the lens came with in the bundle were a nice touch.

Bring your photography to new heights with the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens for Nikon Z, bundled with Hoya 77mm UV and CPL Filters. This ultra-wide, fast, and compact prime lens is a game-changer for full-frame mirrorless cameras, standing out as the fastest in its class. It delivers superior optical quality, offering a remarkable 110-degree angle of view and near-zero distortion, making it an ideal choice for capturing stunning landscapes and impressive astro shots.

The Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D lens is the widest f/2 rectilinear lens currently available in the market with a native E mount, eliminating the need for additional adapters. It's a versatile lens that covers both 35mm full-frame and APS-C sensors, providing photographers with a fast wide-angle option for landscape and low-light photography.

As the second member of the Close-to-Zero distortion series from Venus Optics, this lens is specifically engineered to minimize the optical distortion often associated with wide-angle lenses. This ensures that any straight lines in your composition will be accurately retained, enhancing the overall quality of your images.

Despite its extreme specifications, the Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D lens is incredibly lightweight and compact, weighing in at just 500g (1.1 lb) and measuring a mere 82mm (3.23 in) in length. Its patented optical design, featuring 12 elements in 9 groups with 2 aspherical elements and 3 Extra-low dispersion elements, successfully minimizes distortion and chromatic aberrations, delivering superb edge-to-edge optical performance.

One of the standout features of this lens is its 72mm filter thread. Unlike other ultra-wide and fast lenses, which are typically large with a dome-shaped front element, the Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D lens has a flat front lens element. This allows for the quick and easy attachment of a 72mm filter, eliminating the need for an expensive, bulky filter holder.

The lens also boasts a super close focusing distance of just 15cm (5.9 in) from the sensor, allowing photographers to create unique wide-angle close-up shots with beautiful bokeh. Additionally, it features an aperture switch designed for videographers, enabling quick switching between click-less and clicked apertures.

In summary, the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens for Nikon Z, bundled with Hoya 77mm UV and CPL Filters, is a compact, lightweight, and versatile lens that delivers exceptional optical performance, making it an essential addition to any photographer's kit.
