15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift overview
The Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift is a 15mm f/4.5 prime for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, Canon RF, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Sony E-mount, Pentax K and L-Mount, announced by Laowa in October 2020. 150 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors. It is a weaker pick for low light without a tripod and fast-moving subjects.
New, it sells for A$1,883.15 to A$2,099 at the 4 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at A$1,675. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$1,784 to A$1,883 new.
Worth comparing it with the Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro, Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D and Sigma 17mm F4 DG DN | Contemporary.
