Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift Lens Nikon F (FX) Summary
This full frame Nikon FX Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift Lens is an extremely high quality TIPA award winning ultra wide angle lens with +/- 11mm shift distortion control. Shift focus lenses are ideal for interiors and architectural photography, straightening verticals and in this case can also be flipped to straighten horizontals too. We are finding that more landscape photographers are also using shift lenses when capturing astro, aurora and general landscape scenes.
At 15mm this is one the world’s widest shift lenses for full frame cameras and provides 110 degree field of view, particularly useful where space is limited and there is a lot in the scene. The Zero-D series from Laowa offers very low levels of optical distortion resulting in natural images with excellent rendering. Straight lines are faithfully retained when the lens is shifted without needing software corrections.

Our Verdict
Photographers who look at shift lenses will tend to be technical, working in architecture or interiors. The Laowa 15mm f/4.5 Zero-D Shift lens can also be pointed at landscapes and other scenes where an ultra wide lens is appropriate, or where space is at a premium. A high quality optical formula which has won awards renders excellent detail and sharpness along with extremely well controlled distortion. Straight lines are the desired result with any shift lens and this model delivers with aplomb, incorporating Zero-D technology. 17 elements in 11 groups include special glass elements to deliver these results as well as well controlled flare or ghosting from a special updated coating.
At this ultra wide focal width f/4.5 is a common wide aperture to start composing thanks to the extremely deep depth of field which can be achieved. Manual focus only works well to pinpoint focus across the frame, whilst a 0.20m close focus distance provides plenty of compositional possibilities. Other specialist lenses from Laowa for Nikon DSLR include 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro and 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Nikon F, but this is the only shift style model currently available. As such it delivers across all fronts, combining high quality results with versatility for enthusiast and professional photographers.
