Laowa, known especially for their wide-angle macro lenses, introduced a new lens for EF and Nikon F mount. The Laowa 14mm F/4 Zero-D lens is a budget option for DSLR wide-angle macro lenses. You probably heard of their Laowa Probe 24mm F/14 lens (check our review here), which created quite a hype for perspectives not really possible before at that price point. But Laowa has a pretty extensive lineup of various (mostly wide-angle) lenses, most of which have a macro-like minimum focus distance. Don’t they have a 14mm f/4 lens already? It’s a bit tricky to differentiate between some of their lenses, because they seem so close to each other, for example: 15mm F/4, 12mm F/2.8 Zero-D, and actually, there’s a 14mm F/4 Zero-D already. So to clear things up a bit: The already existing 14mm F/4 Zero-D is made for mirrorless cameras (Sony E-mount, Canon RF, Nikon Z etc.). This made adapting to mounts with a bigger flange focal distance – like EF mount – impossible, or at least highly impractical. The 12mm F/2.8 Zero-D still seems to be the better option. It has a wider field of view, a bigger aperture, but costs almost twice as much.The 15mm F/4 is an older lens and doesn’t wear the “Zero-D” badge, which is Laowas own marketing label for lenses with minimal distortion. So the new addition is an affordable, sharp lens meant for EF and F mount cameras. The mix of that minimum focusing distance and that focal length result...
