From the innovative minds at Venus Optics comes the Laowa 15mm f/4 1:1 Macro Lens with Shift for Nikon F, a revolutionary product that holds the distinction of being the world's first ultra-wide-angle macro lens for full-frame cameras. This unique lens offers an expansive 110-degree angle of view combined with 1:1 maximum magnification, enabling photographers to explore the largely untapped realm of wide-angle macro photography without the need for an extension tube. Unlike traditional macro lenses that typically feature a mid to long focal length, the Laowa 15mm f/4 1:1 Macro lens allows you to capture incredibly close-up shots of subjects such as insects or flowers, while simultaneously revealing the intricate details of their habitat or environment.
This results in images that are not only visually stunning but also rich in context and narrative. The lens also doubles as an exceptional ultra-wide-angle lens with infinity focus for full-frame sensor cameras, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's gear. A unique shift mechanism at the rear end of the lens allows for a maximum adjustment of +/- 6mm, proving invaluable for landscape and architecture photography where distortion correction is key. Constructed with 12 elements in 9 groups, this lens includes 3 high refractive elements and 1 extra-low dispersion element, ensuring crystal clear sharpness from the center to the edge of your images.
Barrel distortion has been meticulously controlled, and the 14-piece aperture blades form a near-circular aperture, capable of creating a beautifully creamy shallow depth of view. The Laowa 15mm f/4 1:1 Macro lens is encased in a durable metal housing, ensuring its longevity. It is compatible with a range of mounts including Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Sony FE, and Pentax K. This product bundle also includes a Hoya 77mm UV+CPL filter kit and a cleaning cloth, providing you with the essential tools to maintain the pristine condition of your lens.
