Description: Venus Optics Laowa D-Dreamer 15mm F2 Zero-D FE Lens withB+W 72mm XS-Pro MRC Nano 010 UV-Haze protection filter. An excellent mid-range astrophotography lens for Milky Way landscapes. Sharper and much more durable than the Samyang options, which are subject to decentering. Very affordable compared to the Sigma and Sony options. Very small size. Also useful for architecture and landscape photography. An image I created using this lens is included with the photos (Death Valley's Badwater Basin, LA lights on the horizon, A7iii, 7 images, 20 sec., ISO 1600, sky and foreground processed independently in Photoshop). Condition:The lens is very lightly used with perfect glass and no internal dust. The lens comes with the original metal hood and upgraded Sony-brand front and rear lens caps. The lens as been stored in an electronic dry cabinet in a smoke-free house since I purchased it. The B+W filter is like new. The lens and filter both come with the original packaging and paperwork. Features: Lens:15mm ultra wide-angle prime lens designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, covering 110 degree angle of view (22.5mm effective focal length on APS-C cameras).Relatively fast f/2 maximum aperture benefits astrophotography and low-light shooting applications.Rectilinear design renders subjects with minimal distortion in order to suit landscape and architectural applications.Three extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for increased clarity and color neutrality. Two aspherical elements limit spherical aberrations for improved sharpness.Frog Eye coating to repel both dust and moisture for added protection when working in inclement conditions.Manual focus design permits working with subjects as close as 5.9" away with a maximum magnification ratio of 1:4.The manual aperture ring can be mechanically 'de-clicked' for smooth, silent rotation throughout the aperture range; making it ideal for video applications.Five straight diaphragm blades are used to render crisp 10-point sun-stars when photographing point light sources with smaller aperture sizes.Accepts 72mm screw-in filters on the front of the lens.Filter:Constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. Features a thin brass filter ring to minimize the potential for vignetting while enhancing durability and jamming prevention. To further reduce the possibility of vignetting when this filter is in use, the filter ring's outside diameter is slightly larger than the actual thread size. This UV Haze filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Such filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your front lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.Absorbs UV light and reduces bluish cast of daylight.Does not require adjustments to exposure while in use.Multicoated to prevent internal ghosting and reflections while providing over 99.8% light transmission.Nano coating provides an improved beading effect with water for more efficient cleaning.Creates no additional coloration or contrast.General protection filter reduces dust, moisture, and scratches from reaching lens elements.Thin brass filter ring helps to prevent vignetting, jamming, and provides additional strength.Includes a plastic case for storage and transport.
