Very Wide Angle. The Zeiss ZE 15mm f/2.8 for Canon provides a 110° angle of view with minimal distortion. Combine that with its large depth of field and you have an optically stellar lens that’s perfectly suited for architectural and landscape photography.

Optics. Its optical formula features two aspherical lenses, partial-dispersion glass, and a floating-elements design that gives high-quality images throughout the focus range. Its 9.84-in. minimum focusing distance enables adventurous shooters to accentuate perspective, while its fast f/2.8 aperture lets you shoot in low light.

Build. Like all other ZE lenses, the 15mm f/2.8 works in all exposure modes, and transmits focus confirmation and EXIF data on compatible cameras. The built-in metal hood not only minimizes lens flares, but also helps to protect the bulbous front element. This lens has a front threaded filter ring that accepts 95mm filters.
