Bring your photography to new heights with the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens for Nikon Z, bundled with Hoya 77mm UV and CPL Filters. This ultra-wide, fast, and compact prime lens is a game-changer for full-frame mirrorless cameras, standing out as the fastest in its class. It delivers superior optical quality, offering a remarkable 110-degree angle of view and near-zero distortion, making it an ideal choice for capturing stunning landscapes and impressive astro shots. The Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D lens is the widest f/2 rectilinear lens currently available in the market with a native E mount, eliminating the need for additional adapters.
It's a versatile lens that covers both 35mm full-frame and APS-C sensors, providing photographers with a fast wide-angle option for landscape and low-light photography. As the second member of the Close-to-Zero distortion series from Venus Optics, this lens is specifically engineered to minimize the optical distortion often associated with wide-angle lenses. This ensures that any straight lines in your composition will be accurately retained, enhancing the overall quality of your images. Despite its extreme specifications, the Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D lens is incredibly lightweight and compact, weighing in at just 500g ( 1.1 lb) and measuring a mere 82mm ( 3.23 in) in length.
Its patented optical design, featuring 12 elements in 9 groups with 2 aspherical elements and 3 Extra-low dispersion elements, successfully minimizes distortion and chromatic aberrations, delivering superb edge-to-edge optical performance. One of the standout features of this lens is its 72mm filter thread. Unlike other ultra-wide and fast lenses, which are typically large with a dome-shaped front element, the Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D lens has a flat front lens element. This allows for the quick and easy attachment of a 72mm filter, eliminating the need for an expensive, bulky filter holder.
The lens also boasts a super close focusing distance of just 15cm ( 5.9 in) from the sensor, allowing photographers to create unique wide-angle close-up shots with beautiful bokeh. Additionally, it features an aperture switch designed for videographers, enabling quick switching between click-less and clicked apertures. In summary, the Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens for Nikon Z, bundled with Hoya 77mm UV and CPL Filters, is a compact, lightweight, and versatile lens that delivers exceptional optical performance, making it an essential addition to any photographer's kit.
