Introducing the Laowa 20mm F4 Zero-D (Canon RF)

The Laowa 20mm F4 Zero-D (Canon RF) is a tilt-shift lens offering near-zero distortion. It provides a more natural perspective than the 15mm. This tilt-shift lens (±11mm) helps photographers correct perspective without compromising image quality ( Full Frame : ±11mm on both the X and Y axes; Medium Format : ±11mm on the X axis and ±8mm on the Y axis). The new version of the collar/mount is compatible with both the 20mm f/4 and 15mm f/4.5 tilt-shift lenses. The graduated rotating ring on the outside of the lens mount facilitates panoramic photography.

The Laowa 20mm F4 Zero-D comprises 16 elements in 11 groups, including 2 aspherical elements and 3 ED glass elements, ensuring sharpness from the center to the edges. Furthermore, an improved lens coating minimizes reflections and ghosting. The highly creative star effect is achieved simply by stopping down the 7-blade diaphragm.

As a member of the « Zero-D » series, it reduces distortion to near zero. This is a significant advantage for architectural, commercial, interior, and landscape photography, minimizing post-production time. The Laowa 20mm F4 lens features an 82mm thread, allowing photographers to use a standard screw-in filter such as a UV or polarizing filter. This is less bulky and less expensive than a dedicated filter holder.

It features a rotating lens hood that protects the front of the lens and prevents unwanted light from reaching the front element, causing unwanted flare and a washed-out effect. The angle of the lens hood can be adjusted to reduce vignetting.

Main specifications
