  • Type

    Wide Angle

    Wide-angle lenses with optics that allow for fitting many elements within the frame with relatively little distortion. Their focal distance is usually 24-35mm for full-frame, 15-25mm for crop frame, and 50-70mm for medium format. They are commonly used in street photography but also in indoor spaces where there is limited distance from the subject. The perspective of wide-angle lenses makes things appear farther apart than they actually are.

  • Mount

    The type of mount that the camera body must have in order for the lens to be fully functional when attached to it.

    2. Some lenses can be used with older mounts from the same manufacturer, sacrificing certain functions (e.g. autofocus), or even with mounts from other manufacturers using an adapter.

  • Item

    Lenses with variable optical (zoom) that remain equally bright (same maximum aperture value) throughout the entire focal distance range they offer. Usually significantly more expensive than their variable aperture counterparts.

    Fixed Focal Length

    Lenses with fixed optics are usually of higher quality than a corresponding zoom lens at the same focal distance. They are also called "fixed" or "prime" lenses.

  • Sensor Type

    Full Frame

    Photographic lenses designed for use on full frame sensor cameras. A full frame lens can also be used on a crop frame sensor camera, but with its focal length adjusted according to the corresponding crop factor.

    For example, a full frame lens with a focal length of 50mm (standard) on a camera body with a crop factor of 1.6 will function with a perspective as if it were an 80mm lens (telephoto).

    The reverse does not work as the optics of a crop frame lens are not sufficient to cover an entire full frame sensor, resulting in the edges of the frame being black (severe vignetting).

  • Maximum Aperture (f)

    Opening the diaphragm determines the amount of light received by the camera and affects the depth of field.
    2. The most open aperture of a lens is called the maximum. The more open the aperture (smaller f-number), the shallower the depth of field.

Description

Description

The Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift by Venus Optics is a specialized wide-angle lens for Sony E-mount camera owners. It offers precise control over lines in architectural photography and interior spaces thanks to its built-in shift mechanism. Its advanced, near-zero-distortion optical design ensures straight lines and high sharpness across the entire frame. It supports Full Frame and Medium Format sensors, with an adapted range of movement. It includes a rotating lens hood to protect against unwanted reflections and a 14-blade aperture.

Shift Mechanism & Perspective Control

The integrated optical shift mechanism allows movement of +/- 11mm on Full Frame bodies and +/- 8mm in Medium Format. This feature completely eliminates the keystone effect and converging lines in tall buildings, allowing architectural and interior photographers to capture straight geometry directly in-camera without the need for digital correction.

Zero-D Design & Advanced Optical Elements

The rectilinear Zero-D design minimizes the optical distortions commonly found in ultra-wide-angle lenses. The system incorporates 3 extra-low-dispersion elements and 2 aspherical elements, significantly reducing chromatic aberrations and circular distortions while ensuring high sharpness and contrast across every corner of the frame.

Anti-Reflective Coating & Rotating Lens Hood

The lens features a state-of-the-art anti-reflective coating that prevents ghosting and keeps images clear in bright lighting conditions. In addition, the rotating lens hood adjusts to the shooting angle to prevent unwanted flares, while also allowing screw-on front filters with a diameter of 82mm.

Close Focusing Distance: 25 cm & 14-Blade Aperture

With a minimum focusing distance of just 25cm, the lens allows you to creatively approach foreground subjects while keeping the background wide. The circular aperture with 14 blades helps create crisp starburst effects around light sources, and the lens is compatible with an optional tripod support mechanism for maximum stability during shift movements.
