About this product

A groundbreaking innovation in the world of photography, the Venus Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide-Angled 1:1 Macro Lens is a game-changer for both professional and amateur photographers. This lens is the first of its kind to offer an ultra-wide angle of view combined with a 1:1 Macro ability, making it a unique addition to the market. Designed to redefine the concept of "Wide Angle Macro Photography," this lens eliminates the need for an extension tube, offering photographers a fresh perspective on their subjects. Traditional macro lenses often restrict users to close-up shots, limiting the ability to capture the subject's environment. The Laowa 15mm f/4 1:1 Macro lens, however, opens up a new world of possibilities, allowing the capture of intricate foreground details while still showcasing the subject's habitat or environment. With an impressive ultra-wide angle of view of 110 degrees and 1:1 maximum magnification, this lens enables photographers to focus incredibly close to the subject. This feature allows the foreground to dominate the photo, while the wide-angle view provides context about the subject's surroundings, creating a captivating and informative image. Beyond its macro capabilities, the Laowa 15mm f/4 1:1 Macro lens also excels as an ultra-wide angle lens for cameras with full-frame sensors. It includes a shift mechanism at the rear end of the lens, offering a maximum adjustment of +/- 6mm. This feature is particularly beneficial for landscape and architecture photography, aiding in distortion correction. The lens construction comprises 12 elements in 9 groups, including 3 pieces of High Refractive elements and 1 piece of Extra-low dispersion elements. This design ensures crystal clear sharpness, both in the center and at the edge of your images. Barrel Distortion has been meticulously controlled to deliver high-quality results. The lens features 14 pieces of aperture blades that form a close-to-circular aperture, capable of creating a creamy shallow depth of view. The lens enclosure is crafted from durable metal, ensuring longevity and robustness. The Venus Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide-Angled 1:1 Macro Lens is available in Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Sony FE, and Pentax K mounts, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of photographers.
