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!

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.

After meticulous engineering, the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D emerges as an exemplary choice for Sony full-frame E-mount camera enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, innovative, and versatile ultra-wide prime lens. This distinguished lens stands out as the widest f/2 rectilinear option available with a native E-mount, eliminating the need for additional adapters and ensuring seamless integration with Sony's renowned camera systems.

Crafted for excellence, the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D boasts an advanced optical structure comprising 12 elements in 9 groups, including two aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements. This patented design is instrumental in reducing distortion and chromatic aberrations to negligible levels, while simultaneously delivering outstanding corner-to-corner sharpness and image quality.

The lens's ultra-fast f/2 aperture is a gateway to capturing stellar astro-photography images, as well as providing photographers with a broad and rapid angle for landscape and low-light photography. The impressive 110-degree angle of view opens up a world of creative possibilities, from expansive landscapes to dynamic architectural shots.

A defining feature of the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D is its close-to-zero distortion, making it a reliable member of Venus Optics' Zero-D line-up. This design ensures that straight lines remain true to form, a critical aspect for architectural and interior photography.

For those who revel in the details, the lens's ability to focus as close as 15cm paves the way for unique bokeh effects and wide-angle close-ups, adding a new dimension to your photography. The inclusion of a 72mm filter thread is a thoughtful touch, allowing for the quick attachment of filters, which is particularly beneficial for landscape photographers who frequently utilize such accessories.

The lens's compact form factor, measuring just 62mm in length and weighing approximately 500g, makes it an ideal everyday lens that doesn't compromise on performance. Its lightweight and compact design mean it's easy to carry on any photographic journey.

Videographers will appreciate the lens's user-friendly aperture switch, which enables a swift transition between a click-less and clicked aperture, facilitating smooth exposure adjustments during filming.

In summary, the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D lens is a sophisticated, reliable, and advanced tool that caters to both photographers and videographers alike. Its combination of ultra-wide angle, fast aperture, and minimal distortion, along with a suite of practical accessories, makes it an indispensable addition to any Sony E-mount camera user's arsenal.
