## Long description

Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5–5× Ultra Macro by Venus Optics is a dedicated macro lens for MILC and SLR cameras that enables extreme close-up imaging at magnifications from 2.5× to 5× life-size. The lens features an optical design of 8 elements in 6 groups within a compact metal barrel (Ø 6.5 cm, length 82 mm, weight 400 g). Its wide-angle macro construction and relatively short working distances (approximately 45 mm at 2.5× and 40 mm at 5×) are intended to provide improved depth of field and easier lighting control compared with longer focal length macro objectives. The lens uses manual focus for precise control when composing and focusing on very small subjects.
Advantages
The Laowa 25mm f/2.8 offers extreme magnification up to 5× while remaining compact and lightweight, making it suitable for both field and studio macro work. Its wide-angle macro design produces a larger depth of field at high magnification compared with telephoto macro lenses, and the extended working distance relative to traditional 25mm macro optics helps to accommodate lighting and accessories. A solid metal barrel contributes to durability and stable handling during careful, close-up shooting.
Suitable for
High-magnification insect and small animal photography
Texture, material and surface-detail imaging for product or industrial inspection
Scientific and forensic close-up documentation
Studio macro setups requiring precise focus control
Creative extreme-macro composition and fine-detail art photography

How to use
Mount the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 on a compatible MILC or SLR camera body and set the camera to manual exposure if precise control is required. Use manual focus to position the lens at the desired magnification within the 2.5×–5× range; small adjustments to the focus ring change magnification and focus plane. For reliable results, stabilise the camera on a tripod or copy stand and illuminate the subject from a controlled angle — the relatively short working distance benefits from directional or ring lighting. Use live view magnification or focus peaking where available to confirm sharpness on the subject.
Usage recommendations
For best practical results at extreme magnifications, combine this lens with stable support (tripod or focusing rail), diffuse directional lighting or a dedicated macro LED ring light, and low ISO settings to maintain detail. Because depth of field is limited even with the wide-angle design, consider focus stacking for extended depth in final images. Handle the metal barrel carefully to avoid contact with the subject when working at very close distances.
