The Venus Optics Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift lens is an ultra-wide full-frame lens that offers a perspective correction function. It delivers unparalleled image sharpness, and thanks to Zero-D technology, distortion is almost completely avoided. It is the ideal choice for photographers who specialize in architectural and interior shots. You'll no longer need to use editing software to eliminate distortion and create straight lines in photographs featuring buildings as the main protagonists. The lens features a swivel hood to prevent unwanted flare. When the 14-blade aperture is closed, beautifully outlined stars are produced. It is compatible with cameras using the Nikon Z bayonet.
The maximum shift value when using the Venus Optics Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift lens for Nikon Z is 11mm for full-frame cameras and 8mm for medium format cameras. The Shift option will allow you to correct perspective that is disturbed by being far away from your subject. This will eliminate distortion and achieve straight lines in your images.
The image generated by the lens is full of detail, color, and contrast. This is all thanks to 16 optical elements arranged in 11 groups. The design also includes 3 ED and 2 aspherical glass elements. This ensures impressive control of chromatic aberration and guarantees consistently sharp images from the center to the edges of the frame.
The maximum angle of view of the Venus Optics Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift lens for Nikon Z is 94.4°. For panoramic shots, that's up to 117°! The wide perspective will give you great flexibility when shooting architecture and interiors with limited space. The lens also lets you get very close to your subjects. The minimum focus distance is just 25cm. It will be a great choice for creating multi-plane shots with a unique perspective.
The Venus Optics Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift for Nikon Z is another member of the Zero-D family. The lenses in this line are ideal for architectural photography. Thanks to the Zero-D, horizontal and vertical lines will remain constant in their planes. This geometry retention is especially appreciated by photographers of architecture, interiors, and landscapes. The time required for image processing will be significantly reduced with this lens!
The 360° rotatable hood protects the front of the lens while preventing unwanted flare and blurring. The lens hood position adjustment allows you to set it so that it does not obstruct anything when you use the maximum shift of the optical axis.
The use of a 14-blade aperture allows for smooth and circular bokeh. The characteristic blur will produce surprising effects in architectural photography. When the aperture is closed, you can enjoy the amazing effect of 14-point stars. They appear in the photo in place of the sun or other light sources such as street lamps, car headlights, or Christmas tree lights.
