About the Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D – Sony FE
The Laowa 15mm F2 Zero-D Lens is specifically designed for Sony full frame sensor E (FE) mount cameras, such as the A7 series. This allows E mount users to take impressive ultra wide angle pictures by using the 110 degree angle of view. Ultra-fast f/2 aperture will also be embraced by everyone especially the Astro and landscape photographers. Relatively compact and lightweight lens housing superior optics.
Close to Zero Distortion
The Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D is the second member of the “Close-to-Zero” distortion line-up, following the launch of 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D last year. The lens is specially designed to remove the optical distortion which commonly exists in wide angle lenses at infinity focus. Straight lines will be retained.
Super Light and Compact
Currently the widest f/2 rectilinear lens in the market which comes with a native E mount (i.e. Does not require additional adapters). It is an ultra-wide & ultra-fast prime lens which covers both full-frame & APS-C sensors. Despite the extreme specifications, we have successfully minimized the weight of the lens to around 500g and 8cm long. This compact and light lens comprises of 12 elements in 9 groups with two aspherical elements and threee Extra-low dispersion elements. Even though the distortion is minimized, chromatic aberrations are also kept relatively low, the Laowa15mm F2 still delivers a superb optical performance from corner to corner.
72mm Filter Thread
Ultra-wide & fast lenses in the market tend to be huge and have a dome-shaped front element. It is a headache for landscape photographers who need to use filters very often. Venus Optics understand their needs and manage to design a flat front surface and include a 72mm filter thread into the lens. 72mm screw-on filters can be used and no more investment on bulky filter holder is required.
Ultra Wide and Fast
The extreme 110° angle of view and ultra-fast f/2 aperture allow photographers to create impressive astro-photography shots with ease. It also gives photographers a fast and wide-angle option for landscape photography and low-light shooting.
Close Focusing Distance
Photographers can take advantage of the super close focusing distance of just 15cm’s. This together with the f/2 aperture, it is a great tool to create some bokeh and wide angle close-up shots.
