Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro Overview

Close-focusing and compact, the Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens from Venus Optics is a unique and versatile short-telephoto prime. Offered here with a Sony E-mount, this lens features greater-than-life-size 2:1 maximum magnification along with an 8" minimum focusing distance, making it ideal for super close-up shots and capturing extremely small details. Specifically designed for mirrorless cameras with full-frame sensors, this lens can capture subjects in any size, making it very versatile for different applications including macro, commercial, and portrait photography.
  • Telephoto prime designed for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras, however, can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 135mm equivalent focal length.
  • Ultra-macro lens that can reproduce 2:1 magnification of life-size images, showing extensive details of the object in high resolution. Features an 8" minimum focusing distance, making it ideal for super close-up shots and capturing extremely small details.
  • Engineered with 3 extra-low dispersion glass elements to suppress longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration across in-focus and out-of-focus areas. Purple fringing and ghosting are also minimized throughout the aperture range, reducing post-editing time.
  • Specifically designed for mirrorless cameras, the shorter flange distance maximizes image sharpness and makes the lens more compact and portable.
  • Manual focus design, along with focus distance and depth of field scales, provide precise focusing control.
  • Features 13 aperture blades that create round and soft bokeh in the out-of-focus area, facilitating a dreamy and artistic background for your images.
  • Internal focusing design helps prevent the lens from coming in contact with the subject and also prevents the lens from attracting dust.
  • Super compact and lightweight, the size of the lens is significantly smaller than other equivalents on the market.

Is the aperture automatic and linked to the exposure system or is it a preset lens with manual diaphragm.
Asked by: Charles
The Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E has no electronics in the lens so the aperture is controlled manual on the lens barrel. The camera would be limited to aperture or manual exposure modes and as the aperture is rotated, the camera's meter will adjust the shutter speed as needed.

On the aperture ring of both 90mm & 100mm lenses there is a dot in between f11 & f22. What does it mean? It is not explained on the user manual either? Kindly help
Asked by: Gagan
The white dot on teh Venus Optics Laowa 90mm and 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Canon RF between f/11 and f/22 represent f/16. The manual included in the box does not address why the manufacture used a dot instead of the number, however there is a graphic in page 25 listing the lens aperture.
