Designed for architectural and interior photography, the Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift lens encompasses a 110-degree angle of view and provides +/- 11 mm of shift adjustments for full frame cameras or +/- 8 mm for medium format models. It will focus to within 20 cm of subjects. Its Zero-D design minimises distortion, while delivering high image sharpness. Shipping of lenses with Canon EF and Nikon F mount will begin late this month (November), while the Canon RF, Nikon Z and Sony FE mount lenses will be shipped from February, 2021.
