Laowa 15mm f/4 1:1 Wide Angle Lens with Shift - Leica L

The Laowa 15mm f/4 1:1 Wide Angle Lens with Shift - Leica L is the first lens in the market which possesses an ultra-wide angle of view and 1:1 Macro ability. This allows photographers from around the world to start experiencing the rather undeveloped field of ‘Wide Angle Macro Photography’ without using an extension tube. Macro Lenses currently in the market tends to have a mid to long focal length and it limits users to take very close-up shots on the insect or flowers, without showing much of the background details like its habitat or environment.

This lens features an ultra-wide-angle of view of 110 degrees with 1:1 maximum magnification. Photographers can focus very close to the subject and let the foreground dominates in the photo but at the same time, have the background telling viewers about where and how the subject lives. You picture will immediately become very informative and intriguing. Every glasses is coated with anti-reflective coating to prevent any flares and ghosting.

Additionally, a shift mechanism is added at the rear end of the lens with a maximum adjustment of +/- 6mm for APS-C cameras, which is extremely useful for landscape/architecture photography for distortion correction.
