15mmR f45 Shift Hasselblad X

Laowa Venus Optics 15mmR f/4.5 shift Zero-D lens for Hasselblad XCD - LWA15ZR45SHAX

* The images are indicative

Laowa 15mm f/4.5 ZERO-Distortion SHIFT for Hasselblad XCD is currently the widest tilt-shift lens for full frame on the market.

The R version (red ring) differs from the previous one (blue ring) in the number of shutter blades, which are 14: on point lights the star effect therefore has 14 points and is less defined and distracting than the standard version.
At the same time, the out-of-focus areas in the background create a nice bokeh effect.

The maximum decentralization is ±11mm, perfect for architectural and interior shots: the tallest skyscrapers can be captured by easily controlling their perspective.
- The widest tilt-shift lens for medium format
- Max decentralization ±8mm on Medium Format
- Large coverage circle
- Zero Distortion
- Superior optical quality
- Extremely close minimum focusing distance
- 360° rotation
- Render 14-pointed stars

The widest tilt-shift lens in the world
15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift is currently the widest tilt-shift lens for medium format on the market.
The field angle is 100° and the very large coverage circle has a diameter of 65mm.
The wider perspective allows photographers great flexibility for architectural and interior shots with limited dimensions.

Decentralization ±11mm
15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift offers a maximum shift of ±11mm allowing photographers to control perspective or expand the angle of view (thanks to stitching).

Wide coverage circle
The gigantic coverage circle allows not only max shift of ±11mm for full frame cameras, but also max shift of ±8mm in medium format cameras (e.g. Fujifilm GFX / Hasselblad X1D).

Zero Distortion
Laowa 15mmf/4.5R Zero-D Shift is part of the Laowa Zero Distortion series.
The optical design includes 2 aspherical elements and 3 dispersion reduction elements, which successfully combine to reduce distortion to virtually zero, from corner to corner of the frame.

Superior optical quality
The optical design consists of 17 optical elements in 11 groups, including 2 aspherical elements.
The surface coating has been implemented obtaining a significant improvement in the control of chromatic aberrations, flare and ghosting.

Extremely close focusing distance
Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift is an ultra-wide lens with an extremely close focusing distance of just 20cm.
This allows for great versatility and flexibility in framing and creating macro-like shots.

Render 14-pointed stars
Laowa 15mm f/4.5R Zero-D Shift is designed with a 14-blade diaphragm, capable of creating a 14-point star effect on point lights.

360° rotation
The rotation function allows photographers to move the shift mechanism by changing its direction.
The scope has a click-stop every 15°.
This feature leaves photographers free to use shift in both horizontal and vertical orientations.

New Shift Support
The new lens support is compatible with both Laowa 20mm f/4 Shift and 15mm f/4.5 Shift.
The external rotating ring makes it easier to take panoramic shots and to avoid parallax errors.
