Short-Telephoto Ultra-Macro Prime. The Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO boasts a greater-than-life-size 2:1 macro reproduction ratio and 8.1-inch minimum focusing distance that make it great for macro shooting, commercial photography, portraiture, and any other context in which you’d want to capture extremely small details on very close subjects. Using an APS-C camera? You’ll get a 135mm equivalent focal length.
High-Quality Optics. This lens’s ten-group/thirteen-element design includes three extra-low dispersion elements that help to eliminate latitudinal and longitudinal chromatic aberrations, purple fringing, and ghosting while keeping images sharp and color-accurate. A short flange distance maximizes image sharpness and the lens’s portability.
Fully Manual Lens. The 90mm f/2.8 is a fully manual lens. Its internal-focusing design means that it maintains its overall length during use, while its nine-blade aperture produces pleasing bokeh. The lens barrel includes focus-distance and depth-of-field scales for precision control.
