Built for extreme close-up imaging, the Sony E-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 Sony E-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.
