## Long description

Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5–5× Ultra Macro is a dedicated macro lens for MILC and SLR cameras that provides up to 5× magnification for greater-than-life-size close-up imaging. The optical design consists of 8 elements in 6 groups and the lens is optimized for working in the 2.5:1–5:1 magnification range. With an overall length of 82 mm and weight of 400 g, the lens is compact and portable while offering an extended working distance compared with conventional short focal length macro optics. Manual focus control and a wide-angle macro design deliver increased depth of field for high-magnification subjects such as insects, product details and scientific samples.
Advantages
The lens combines a compact form factor with high maximum magnification up to 5×, allowing detailed imaging without the bulk of longer macro optics. An extended working distance at typical magnifications (approximately 45 mm at 2.5× and 40 mm at 5×) provides space for lighting and handling, while the wide-angle macro geometry increases usable depth of field compared with telecentric or long-reach macro lenses. The manual focus mechanism permits fine control over focus distance for precise composition at extreme close range.
Suitable for
Extreme macro photography of insects and small animals
High-magnification product and detail photography
Scientific and laboratory imaging of small specimens
Studio close-up work where controlled lighting and precision are required

How to use
Mount the lens on a compatible MILC or SLR camera body with the correct mount type. Use manual focus to set the precise focusing distance within the 2.5×–5× magnification range; small adjustments to the focus ring produce significant changes in framing at these magnifications. Position the subject and camera to maintain the specified working distance to allow room for lighting and accessories. Compose and fine-tune focus using live view or a focus magnification function if available. For handheld or field use, stabilize the camera on a tripod or macro rail to avoid motion blur at high magnification.
Usage recommendations
Use dedicated macro lighting such as ring lights or small directional LEDs to evenly illuminate the subject while preserving the working distance. Consider a tripod collar or macro focusing rail for precise stacking and reproducible framing. Because depth of field is limited even with the lensʼs wide-angle macro design, focus stacking is recommended for maximum subject detail. Verify mount compatibility before use and handle the lens carefully to avoid disturbing delicate subjects at close range.
