Laowa 15mm F/4 Wide-Angle 1:1 Macro Lens
Close Focus & Wide Angles
Made for photographing small subjects (like flowers, insects, or intricate details) with a very wide depth of field, the Laowa 15mm F/4 lens is one of the widest full-frame lenses to offer a full 1:1 magnification ratio. The entirely manual lens is designed around 12 elements in nine groups, including three high-refractive elements and one extra-low dispersion element. Multi-layer coating minimize flare and ghosting, while the built-in shift mechanism can move the optics up or down 6 millimeters along the lens mount, providing perspective correction for converging lines—and great for seamless panoramas. Small and light for an ultra-wide-angle, with a 110-degree angle of view, this lens allows you to capture close-ups with impact and context.
Note: At checkout, you’ll have your choice of mount: Canon, Nikon, Pentax K, Sony A, or Sony FE.
