Product Description
A fast and bright wide-angle prime, the Sony E-mount Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens from Venus Optics is a rectilinear lens with a sophisticated optical design to effectively limit distortion. The bright f/2 maximum aperture makes this lens especially useful for astrophotography and low-light use, and when paired with the 5.9" minimum focusing distance, distinct shallow depth of field imagery can also be produced. The optical construction includes three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements to control both chromatic and spherical aberrations for greater sharpness, clarity, and reduced color fringing. A Frog Eye Coating has been applied, too, to repel dust and moisture from the front element of the lens to benefit working in trying environmental conditions. Additionally, the manual aperture ring can be de-clicked for smooth, silent aperture changes to suit video applications, and the front of the lens is threaded to accept 72mm screw-in filters.About this Item:E-Mount Lens/Full-Frame FormatAperture Range: f/2 to f/22Three Extra-Low Dispersion ElementsTwo Aspherical ElementsRectilinear Design, Low DistortionFrog Eye Dust & Water-Repellent CoatingManual Focus DesignManual Aperture Ring Can Be De-Clicked7-Blade DiaphragmWhat's in the box:Venus Optics Laowa 15mm f/2 FE Zero-D Lens for Sony EFront and Rear Lens CapsLens HoodLimited 3-Year Warranty

FEAR-I was Afraid of Manual focus and buying Laowa.Been a long time since focusing manual and had split screen/prism aids.But its OK,even if you've had no experience.Sony has focus magnifier,Also image stabilizer and focus is easier in wide angle in most situations, The lens is fast and with in camera stabilization you can increase a couple f stops and get near and far objects in good focus.With even very basic post process like magic wand freebie programs,you can under expose and pull your pic out of shadows with great depth of field.Also you get better at focusing quickly without using the magnifier for travel and casual video in most light.
QUALITY - up with the best of Canon and Nikon.Weight is fine for Sonys and the lens is not huge and intimidating.
Conclusion - value and best choice for amateurs to use.Try it you'll be happy.
I use it on my Sony a7iii full frame camera
It is a full frame lens
It is extremely sharp. Sharpest lens I’ve used so far!
It’s a manual only lens
The only thing negative I have to say about it is the distortion and vingetting in the corners but this is my first ultra wide angle lens and according to everyone else, it has less distortion than other wide angle lenses. So I guess that’s a good thing. Both things can be fixed pretty well in post too so it’s not a big deal.
The build quality is amazing.
Also, it arrived packaged and sealed very well. Was highly impressed.
Overall, I give it 5 stars and would highly recommend this lens!
The pics attached are of the packaging and of worship at my Sunday morning church service.

Aside from focus the colors are good, I don't see a lot of aberrations or vignetting. It is a heavy lens and very solid built. Should last a long time. Since competing lenses are more than twice as much, it's hard to beat this one at least in the short term.

I buy manual focus lenses mostly for night sky, challenging focus environment to be sure. But in 250 sequential shots of the northern lights, focused on an a7iii with the focus magnifier on an object at 25 yards at f/8, nothing is acceptably sharp to print past 16x20. I’m really frustrated and now feel that I will always need to check focus with a large screen during every session with this lens. It’s just not sharp enough for a modern sensor.
Can’t upload photo due to pointless limitations of the Amazon app, sorry. I did a 300-ish shot time lapse of the northern lights over a camp fire. It looks good at screen resolution but at 100% everything is a bit soft, foreground and background alike. Stopping down doesn’t help. I can’t help but conclude this is a one trick pony. Sure the rectangles are square but that’s pointless if the stars are fuzzy. I guess this is the best lens ever if you’re shooting real estate for Zillow, but it’s kind of trash for art.

L’optique est rigide, solide, bien fabriquée tout en restant plus légère que l’on puisse l’imaginer. La bague de mise au point est ferme et précise. La finition est très bonne et les couleurs rappellent un peu la gamme loxia de Zeiss.
Un beau produit, certes, mais pas exempt de défauts toutefois: la bague F clique bien ou glisse fermement selon le choix mais je regrette toutefois que le switch pour passer d élus à l’autre soit aussi mou et facile à changer sans le vouloir.
Le pas de vis arrière déçoit également car le bouchon arrière ne se visse pas à fond et il s’enlève trop facilement. Quand au bouchon avant, il est impossible de retirer le pare-soleil sans le retirer auparavant.
Concernant les capacités optiques, nous avons une excellente définition sur l’ensemble de l’image dès f2 et offre un contraste et une définition proche de la perfection a f8. Il y a un vignettage important à noter même à f8, ce qui semble le logique sur un 15mm plein format. Il est possible de le corriger sous Lightroom mais cette particularité fais partie du caractère de l’objectif aussi. Généralement je ne le corrige pas complètement. Le Lens flare est présent bien évidemment sur une surface aussi large mais elle n’est pas exagérément présente et ne ruine pas la prise de vue à moins de ne pas en vouloir du tout. La distortion est particulièrement bien maîtrisée et offre un angle large aux lignes verticales bien droites. Il mérite son surnom zero D!
Dans l’ensemble, cette optique offre une belle finition et des performances optiques vraiment impressionnantes en terme de définition, de distortion ainsi qu’une bonne maîtrise du lens flare et un vigenttage plein de caractère. A ce prix je ne vois pas de concurrent valable. Pour n’importe quel fan de ultra grand angle exerçant sur Sony monture FE, ce Laowa 15mm zéro D est un indispensable et probablement le meilleur rapport qualité prix sur le marché des ultra grand angles.

Como puntos negativos el pétalo es metálico y hay que tener cuidado por si golpea a otros objetivos o cámara. Otro sería que el anillo de enfoque funciona al revés que mis objetivos Sony.
