Laowa 15mm T4.8 Zero-D Shift Cine Lens - ARRI PL (VE1548PL)

Laowa 15mm T4.8 Zero-D Shift Cine Lens for ARRI PL

This ultra-wide cine lens is built for full-frame and Vista Vision cameras, delivering a 15mm perspective with precision shift control. With up to ±11 mm of shift on full-frame systems and ±9 mm on Vista Vision, it gives filmmakers greater freedom to refine framing, control perspective, and keep architectural lines looking natural.

Designed with Laowa’s Zero-D optics, the lens keeps distortion to a minimum for clean, accurate images straight out of camera. That means less reliance on post-production correction and more consistent image quality across the frame. Its optical design also helps reduce chromatic aberration, supporting sharp, clear results for professional cinema work.

A close focusing distance of just 20 cm opens the door to expressive close-ups with a shallow depth of field and smooth background separation. Combined with strong edge-to-edge sharpness, this lens is equally at home capturing detailed interiors, expansive landscapes, or stylized cinematic scenes.

The 65.2 mm image circle is engineered to support shift performance across a wide range of large-format cinema cameras, including high-end full-frame and Vista Vision models. It can be used as a versatile wide-angle prime, making it a strong choice for productions that demand both flexibility and image fidelity.

The lens comes with a native PL mount and supports optional interchangeable mounts for even broader system compatibility.
