## Long description

The Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5–5× Ultra Macro for SLR with Canon EF mount is a compact, high‑magnification macro lens designed for extreme close‑up photography. Optimized for life‑size magnification from 2.5× to 5×, the lens features an optical construction of 8 elements in 6 groups, a short 65 mm physical length and a lightweight body of approximately 400 g. With an extended working distance (about 45 mm at 2.5× and 40 mm at 5×) and a narrow barrel profile, the lens allows easier lighting and handling when shooting small subjects in the field or controlled studio setups.
Advantages
The lens delivers very high reproduction ratios between 2.5× and 5× for detailed imaging of tiny subjects while remaining compact and portable. Its optical design provides relatively greater depth of field compared with other extreme‑magnification optics, improving focus usability at high magnifications. The extended working distance and slimmer barrel make it easier to position lights and accessories close to the subject without blocking the view. Being a dedicated SLR macro lens with Canon EF mount ensures full compatibility with Canon EF‑mount cameras and stable mechanical connection.
Suitable for
Insect and small animal macro photography
Product and jewelry close‑up imaging
Scientific and forensic documentation of small details
Macro focus stacking and high‑magnification studio work

How to use
Attach the lens to a Canon EF‑mount camera and set the camera to manual focus for precise control at high magnification. Compose and focus by moving the camera or the subject rather than using the focus ring alone when working at 2.5×–5× magnification; small positional adjustments produce large changes in focus. Use a stable support such as a tripod or copy stand to minimize motion blur. If available, use live view with magnification to confirm critical focus and exposure. Because the lens is optimized for very close distances, ensure sufficient lighting and consider using diffused continuous light or flash to maintain even illumination.
Usage recommendations
For best results with the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5–5× Ultra Macro, combine a sturdy tripod or copy stand with a remote shutter release or camera timer, use focus stacking for increased depth of field when needed, and employ controlled, diffused lighting to avoid harsh shadows and specular highlights. When shooting live subjects such as insects, allow time for gentle repositioning and use a longer trigger cable or remote control to reduce disturbance.
