Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL Zero-D - Leica M - Black

Marrying an ultra-compact form factor with an ultra-wide field of view, the black Laowa 14mm f/4 FF RL is a sleek prime lens with distinctly low distortion and rectilinear rendering to suit interior, architecture, astrophotography, nature, and landscape applications. The broad 114° angle of view is aided by an advanced optical design, which includes aspherical, high refractive index, and low dispersion elements, to realize well-corrected, sharp, and color-accurate imagery. The lens has a manual focus design and permits working with subjects as close as 10.6" away and its built-in petal-shaped hood helps to block stray light from causing unwanted lens flare.

Key Features of the Laowa 14mm f/4 FFLR Zero-D - Leica M (Black)

• Ultra-wide prime is designed for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras.
• Two aspherical elements and one ultra-high refractive index glass elements help to control distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.
• Three extra-low dispersion elements are used to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations to produce high clarity and color accuracy.
• Impressively wide 114° angle of view pairs with a rectilinear design, which renders subjects with minimal distortion to suit the landscape and architectural applications. This ultra-wide field of view will exceed that of a rangefinder camera's viewfinder; an external electronic viewfinder or live view method should be used for making accurate compositions.
• Rangefinder-coupled for accurate focusing using the camera's viewfinder; despite the lens having a minimum focusing distance of 27 cm, the lens/rangefinder is only coupled for accurate focusing to 0.07 m and this distance is highlighted on the focusing distance scale. For working between 27 cm and 0.07 m, live view methods should be used for accurate focusing.
• A built-in petal-shaped lens hood helps to prevent stray light from causing lens flare and also offers some physical protection to the lens's front element.
• The front of the lens is threaded to accept optional 52mm filters. The lens is also compatible with an optional, dedicated 100mm filter holder.
• Five-blade diaphragm produces distinct 10-point sun stars and specular highlights when stopped-down and photographing point light sources.
