Product Description
Description The Lightdow 15mm lens is one of the widest full-frame lenses to offer a full 1:1 magnification ratio. Admittedly, this magnification only occurs when the object is 0.2 inches (4.7mm) from the rather large front element of this lens, but that's the trade off between a wide angle of view and the desire for 'true' macro abilities. This is an entirely manual lens (manual focus; manual aperture; no communication to the camera body), for anyone who likes to get really close to their subjects. Wide-angle macro enthusiasts will definitely enjoy this lens, while anyone with patience and a desire to explore the options it provides will similarly find the Lightdow 15mm to be a fun and rewarding addition to their system.

Product Features
The Lightdow 15mm F/4 1:1 Macro + Wide Angle Lens is one of the widest full-frame lenses to offer a full 1:1 magnification ratio.
The lens is designed around 12 elements in 9 groups, with three High Refractive elements, and one Extra-low Dispersion lens.
Multi-layer coatings minimize flare and ghosting, while the overall optical design strikes a balance between close focus abilities and wide angles.
The petal-shaped hood prevents many subjects from reaching the tiny minimum focus distance for 1:1 macros, and furthermore blocks out light that becomes necessary for macros with acceptable depth-of-focus (narrow aperture).
NOTE: This is a manual lens, NO Electronic Contacts, your camera will not detect the lens when mounted, that's why it shows not connecting properly, please switch to MF MODE in order to use this lens correctly. Tips to use our Manual Lens: 1) Set the mode dial to Manual (M). 2) Set the Release w/o Lens option in the camera menu to Enable. 3) Set the Shutter lock option in the camera menu to Off: no lens.
Customer Reviews
This lens has made me see macro photography in a whole new light! On the surface, it is a fairly standard Chinese manual-focus lens - decent all-metal build quality and well-coated optics. I've been using it on a Nikon Z5, so the camera does most of the heavy lifting so far as exposure and metering is concerned. With those factors out of the way, WOW, for $200, this lens works great for wide-angle macro - very sharp, little CA, and creamy, smooth bokeh. The kinds of shots you can get with a lens like this are totally unique, and I highly recommend it.
