About Venus 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift

You can redefine your architectural and interior photography with the Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens for Pentax K, the world's widest shift lens designed for full-frame and medium format cameras. This high-quality, innovative lens boasts an exceptional +/-11mm shift range for full-frame cameras and +/-8mm for medium format, allowing for unparalleled control over perspective distortion. Capture towering skyscrapers and expansive interiors with corrected perspectives and sharp, straight lines that truly reflect your creative vision.

The Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens is a testament to advanced optical engineering, featuring a sophisticated 14-blade aperture encircled in a distinctive red ring. This design not only contributes to the lens's refined aesthetic but also enhances the quality of your images. The 14-point sunstars effect is softer and more subtle, perfect for scenes with strong light sources and reflections. Moreover, the round bokeh produced by this lens adds a smooth, appealing touch to out-of-focus night cityscapes.

As a versatile tool for photographers, this lens offers an expansive 110-degree angle of view and a massive 65mm image circle, ensuring you have the flexibility to frame both the subject and background with ease. The ultra-wide angle perspective is ideal for capturing the grandeur of architectural marvels and the intricacies of interior designs without any vignetting, even on medium format sensors.

The Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens sets a new standard for image quality with its Zero-Distortion feature, achieved through a complex arrangement of 17 elements in 11 groups, including two aspherical elements. This advanced construction nearly eliminates distortion across the entire image, ensuring that every line and edge is captured with absolute precision.

Furthermore, the lens's close focusing distance of just 20cm opens up a world of possibilities for wide-angle macro photography, allowing you to create stunning, detailed images from a fresh perspective.

Designed with user convenience in mind, the lens barrel incorporates a 360-degree rotation mechanism with a click every 15 degrees. This feature, combined with the easy-to-use silver unlock button, makes it simple to switch between landscape and portrait orientations while maintaining the desired shift direction.

To support the functionality and precision of this lens, a specially designed lens support is included. This rotatable ring is crucial for achieving perfect stitching and panoramic photography, ensuring the principal axis remains consistent even when orientation and shift are altered.

Choose the Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift Lens for Pentax K for its reliability and the creative freedom it offers. Whether you're a professional architectural photographer or an enthusiast looking to explore new perspectives, this lens will be an invaluable addition to your gear, providing advanced features that set it apart from alternatives in its class.
