Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro Lens

Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro Lens

A 15 mm wide angle macro lens with an f/4 aperture for full frame sensors. The optics consist of 12 elements in 9 groups, including three high refractive elements and one extra-low dispersion element. Every element is treated with an anti-reflective coating to reduce flare and ghosting.

Aperture and focus

The aperture features 14 blades that form a near-circular opening for a smooth shallow depth of field. Both focus and aperture are controlled manually. The lens includes a built-in shift mechanism providing +/- 6 mm shift on APS-C sensors for perspective correction.

Macro and minimum focus

The minimum focusing distance is 12.2 cm, allowing the lens to get as close as 12 cm from the sensor plane. Maximum magnification is 1:1, capturing subjects in life size. The wide angle perspective provides a 110° angle of view.

Construction and dimensions

The barrel is constructed from metal for increased durability. The lens measures 84 x 64 mm, weighs 410 g, and has a 77 mm filter thread. It is available for Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, and Sony FE mounts.
