Chinese lens manufacturer Anhui ChangGeng Optical Technology Company
Limited has introduced what it describes as the world's widest 1:1 macro
lens. The Venus Optics Laowa 15mm F4 is designed for full frame sensor
cameras and can focus down to just 12cm from the front element. As well
as operating as a macro lens, the unit is equipped with a +/-6mm shift
function for architectural work at normal focusing distances. Shift
function is only available when shooting on APS-C crop sensors though.
Constructed using 12 elements in 9 groups, the 110° lens has a
14-blade aperture and will be made with mounts for Canon EF, Nikon F,
Sony Alpha, Sony FE and Pentax K cameras. It weighs 410g/0.9lb, measures
83.8x64.7mm/3.3x2.5in and uses a 77mm filter.
Available now, the Laowa 15mm F4 Wide Angle 1:1 Macro Lens costs $479. For more information see the
Venus Optics website.
