## Long description

The Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO for MILC/SLR (Sony-compatible, 52mm filter) is a dedicated macro prime optimized for APS-C mirrorless and SLR systems. Designed by Venus Optics, this compact lens delivers up to 2:1 magnification with a bright f/2.8 maximum aperture and an optical layout of 14 elements in 10 groups. The lens covers a wide focusing range from infinity down to 2x life-size and incorporates apochromatic elements to reduce chromatic aberration, producing high-resolution, color-accurate close-up images. At 335 g it is lightweight and pocketable for field and travel macro work. Note: this item is backordered and is expected to ship in 2–3 weeks in order of purchases.
Advantages
The lens provides a true 2:1 magnification ratio suitable for extreme close-up detail that many APS-C macro lenses do not reach. Its apochromatic optical design, including extra-low dispersion glass elements, minimizes both lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberration for improved color fidelity and edge-to-edge sharpness. The internal focus mechanism keeps the lens length constant during focusing, improving handling and stability while shooting small subjects. A 52 mm filter thread allows easy attachment of protection and specialty filters without affecting the compact footprint.
Suitable for
Insect and small wildlife photography where high magnification is required
Botanical and plant detail imaging for scientific or artistic use
Product and jewellery photography for e-commerce and catalog work
Macro portraiture of small objects and creative close-up compositions

How to use
Mount the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO on a compatible MILC or SLR body and set your camera to manual or aperture-priority mode for precise exposure control. Use the focus ring to move smoothly from infinity down to 2x magnification; the internal focus design keeps the lens length unchanged while you fine-tune focus. When working at high magnification, stabilize the camera on a tripod or use a controlled handholding technique with a fast shutter speed. For shallow depth-of-field at close distances, stop down aperture as needed to increase depth and retain subject detail. Apply a 52 mm filter if protection or specific filtering is required.
Usage recommendations
For best results with small subjects, combine the lens with a stable support (tripod or macro rail), use diffused lighting to avoid harsh shadows, and stop down incrementally from f/2.8 to f/8–f/11 to balance sharpness and depth of field. When shooting moving insects, increase shutter speed and use burst mode to capture decisive moments. Check focus carefully at high magnification and consider focus stacking for extended depth in detailed product or botanical images.
