AstrHori 25mm f/2.8 2-5x Ultra Macro Lens (Leica L)
Key Features
  • Full-Frame | f/2.8 to f/16
  • Enables Extreme Close-Up Image Capture
  • Manual Focus Design
  • 4.4" Minimum Focusing Distance
Built for extreme close-up imaging, the Leica L-mount 25mm f/2.8 2-5x Ultra Macro Lens from AstrHori is a specialized macro lens for photographing subjects at magnifications greater than life-size. Operating within a 2:1 to 5:1 maximum magnification range, this sophisticated prime lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 4.4" at the 2:1 magnification and 7.3" at 5:1, along with a comfortable working distance of 1.5-1.8". The wide-angle focal length allows the lens to achieve greater depth of field compared to long focal length macro lenses. Complementing the close-up capabilities, the optical design incorporates extra-low dispersion and high-refractive elements to enhance color fidelity and image clarity. Additionally, distinguishing itself from other macro lenses, this 25mm f/2.8 is lightweight at just 1 lb, making it easy to handle.

AstrHori 25mm f/2.8 Overview

Built for extreme close-up imaging, the Leica L-mount 25mm f/2.8 2-5x Ultra Macro Lens from AstrHori is a specialized macro lens for photographing subjects at magnifications greater than life-size. Operating within a 2:1 to 5:1 maximum magnification range, this sophisticated prime lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 4.4" at the 2:1 magnification and 7.3" at 5:1, along with a comfortable working distance of 1.5-1.8". The wide-angle focal length allows the lens to achieve greater depth of field compared to long focal length macro lenses. Complementing the close-up capabilities, the optical design incorporates extra-low dispersion and high-refractive elements to enhance color fidelity and image clarity. Additionally, distinguishing itself from other macro lenses, this 25mm f/2.8 is lightweight at just 1 lb, making it easy to handle.

  • Prime 25mm f/2.8 lens is designed for full-frame L-mount cameras, and can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 37.5mm equivalent focal length.
  • Specifically developed for macro photography, this lens is designed for use within a 2:1 to 5:1 magnification range for producing greater-than-life-size imagery.
  • When at 5:1 magnification, the lens has a minimum focusing distance of 7.3" along with a working distance of 1.5", which affords sufficient room for illuminating your subject. At the 2:1 position, a minimum focusing distance of 4.4" is possible along with a working distance of 1.8".
  • Wide-angle design benefits the high magnification design by providing greater depth of field compared to telephoto or long lens designs.
  • Manual focus operation for precise control over focusing distance when working with close-up subjects.
  • Extra-low dispersion and high-refractive elements reduces lens distortions, chromatic aberrations, and color fringing for improved clarity and color accuracy.
  • Lightweight design is easier to use handheld and the slim profile offers more room for illuminating close-up subjects.

AstrHori 25mm f/2.8 Reviews

Not bad, not great

By Ryan

The lens is difficult to use due to the extremely small DOF, but that was expected, so not a complaint. However, there is a significant amount of light leak/flare when trying to use this in any sunlight. It doesn't always ruin a picture, but it makes it much more difficult to get good results. It has a great build quality, so there are no complaints from that perspective. I can't compare it to it's counterpart Laowa version, but I've heard that it has less contrast.

Can this lens be used only for macro purposes, or can it also be used for regular photos of distant objects? Thanks

Unfortunately, the AstrHori 25mm f/2.8 2-5x Ultra Macro Lens (Leica L) cannot focus to infinity. It can only be used for extreme macro.
