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 27 cm away and its built-in petal-shaped hood helps to block stray light from causing unwanted lens flare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Alternative colour shown, this is for the silver version of this lens.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"h2Lit\"\u003eKey Features of the Laowa 14mm f\/4 Zero-D RL Lens - Leica M Mount - Silver\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-wide prime is designed for Leica M-mount rangefinder cameras.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo aspherical elements and one ultra-high refractive index glass elements help to control distortion and spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and accurate rendering.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree extra-low dispersion elements are used to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations to produce high clarity and color accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImpressively wide 114° angle of view pairs with a rectilinear design, which renders subjects with minimal distortion to suit the landscape and architectural applications.
