Naiad, 15mm — Broaden Your Horizons

15mm is a focal length for ultra-wide-eyed explorers — a portal to an even more powerful perspective. Squeezing in every detail, Naiad widens your field of vision to 135°.




Play around and magnify your mates, exaggerate tiny features and puff up personalities. Watch the foreground dilate and the background contract as you amplify and inflate the world around you. Look up and make the buildings around you bend. Look down and exaggerate the curvature of the earth. Rediscover your city’s finest architecture — there’s a whole world out there waiting for you.




‘‘NO BUILDING WILL EVER BE TOO BIG.’’

Defy the Rules

Naiad will pull out stunning panoramas and jolt you on a journey of extraordinary angles. Daring you to shoot every last detail, Naiad’s handcrafted glass optics will push you towards ever-more impossible perspectives. So defy the rules, reconfigure routine compositions, and let Naiad whisk you through surreal scenes you once thought unattainable.




Focus on the Foreground

Naiad has a closest focusing distance of 0.01m, meaning that you can get up-close and intimate with your subject. Take a step closer towards your subject, blur the background and dramatize the details. Start shooting pronounced portraits, extract the trippiest truths, pluck out precise peculiarities and stress the small stuff.

Intensify Your Tones

Naiad is designed to achieve optimal tonal results, which is why the lens hood doubles as a filter holder. It’s compatible with rectangular filters of up to 100mm width with a maximum thickness of 2mm.

Reduce excessive post-production work and master the amount of light that falls directly on your raw images while you shoot — without compromising colors or contrasts.





Ideal for shooting in bright sunlight, a Neutral Density Filter will absorb light as it enters the lens. You can also craft spectacularly silky seascapes, and blur the movement of rivers and streams to give an exquisite, ethereal effect to running water.

Adjust the mood of your shots with a set of Color Temperature Filters. Give skin tones a light, sunny glow with a warm filter, or reduce the orange hue from artificial light or direct sunlight with a cool filter.

Bring out the subtleties in skies with a Neutral Density Graduated Filter, perfect for emphasising the details of clouds and strengthening your foreground.
