Venus Optics had announced an updated version to its 15mm F4.5 Zero-D shift lens. This new version is distinguished by an 'R' in the name and sports a red ring rather than blue.
This 15mm F4.5R Zero-D lens is almost identical to its predecessor with the difference being the 'R' version has a 14 blade aperture diaphragm where as the original model has 5 aperture blades.
A 14-blade aperture, produces 14-point sunstars. Compared to the previous 5-blade aperture version, the sunburst effect with fourteen rays is softer and subtler. This new lens aperture will offer a different shape of bokeh and flares in the photographs. 15mm f/4.5R creates round bokeh on the out-of-focus backgrounds. It is smoother and hence more appealing in the night-view city scenes.
The angle of view for Laowa 15mm f/4.5 and f/4.5R Zero-D Shift is 110° with a huge image circle up to ⌀ 65mm. It is perfect for capturing supertall skyscrapers, magnificent architecture, and interior works. The maximum possible shift amount of the lens is ±11mm for full-frame cameras and ±8mm for medium format cameras.
This lens is available for Canon EF, Canon RF, Fujifilm G, L-Mount, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Pentax K and Sony E mount cameras.
