Venus Optics Laowa 58mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro ... Overview

A unique and versatile prime, the Laowa 58mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO Lens from Venus Optics offers extreme close-focusing and high-resolution performance in a compact and lightweight design. Available here with a Leica L-mount, this ultra-macro lens features a 7.3" minimum focusing distance and a greater-than-life-size 2:1 maximum magnification, making it ideal for close-up macro and portrait photography.

  • A slightly longer-than-normal-length prime, this ultra-macro lens is specially designed for Leica L-mount full-frame cameras; however, it also can be used with APS-C models where it provides an 87mm 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 a 7.3" minimum focusing distance, making it ideal for super close-up shots and capturing extremely small details.
  • Designed with three extra-low dispersion elements and three ultra-high refractive elements to suppress longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration across in-focus and out-of-focus areas. This sophisticated APO design is particularly useful in macro photography and minimizes purple fringing and ghosting throughout the aperture range.
  • 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 prevents the lens from coming in contact with the subject and protects the lens from dust.
  • Compact and lightweight, this lens is smaller than other main-stream option on the market, which allows you to carry it around without burden.
