Laowa 15mm f/4 Wide Angle Macro

A 15mm f/4 wide-angle lens that focuses to 1:1 macro at 12cm, with built-in shift — 'bug's-eye' macro. This is the Sony A-mount version. There is no A-mount body in our catalogue; it fits Sony E bodies through any A to E adapter such as the LA-EA5, as a fully manual lens.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
