15mm f/2 Zero-D overview
The Laowa 15mm f/2 Zero-D is a 15mm f/2 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, Canon RF, Nikon Z and L-Mount, announced by Laowa in September 2016. 102 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors. It is a weaker pick for fast-moving subjects.
New, it sells for $549 to $717.01 at the 2 stores we track in the United States that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at $379.13. It launched at $849.
Worth comparing it with the Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro, Sony FE 14mm F1.8 GM and Laowa 12mm f/2.8 Zero-D.
