Optical construction: 8 elements in 6 groups; maximum magnification 5× for extreme close-up imaging.

## Long description

Venus Optics Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5–5× Ultra Macro is a manual-focus macro lens designed for MILC and SLR cameras, offering extreme close-up capability with a maximum 5× magnification. The lens optical construction comprises 8 elements in 6 groups and features a compact, lightweight metal barrel with a Ø65 mm diameter, 82 mm length and a weight of approximately 400 g. Optimized for shooting at magnifications between 2.5:1 and 5:1, the design provides an extended working distance (approximately 45 mm at 2.5× and 40 mm at 5×) and a wider-angle layout that increases depth of field compared with telephoto extreme-macro designs.
Advantages
The Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5–5× Ultra Macro delivers greater-than-life-size imaging with precise manual-focus control, allowing careful composition and focus stacking. Its compact and lightweight construction makes it more portable than many high-magnification alternatives while retaining a useful working distance for lighting and subject access. The lens’ wide-angle optical arrangement improves apparent depth of field at high magnifications, supporting easier focus management for product, insect and scientific photography.
Suitable for
Extreme close-up product photography (small objects, textures, jewelry)
Macro insect and entomology imaging in the field or studio
Scientific and medical documentation requiring high magnification
Focus stacking workflows for increased depth of field
Educational and research macro imaging where detailed magnification is needed

How to use
Mount the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5–5× Ultra Macro on a compatible MILC or SLR camera body and set the camera to manual exposure or aperture-priority depending on workflow. Use manual focus to adjust the magnification and focus distance within the 2.5×–5× range, and move the camera or subject to refine composition. For accurate results at high magnification, work on a stable support such as a tripod or copy stand and employ live view or magnified view on the camera to confirm critical focus. Adjust lighting to account for the short working distance and consider directional or ring lighting to illuminate the subject evenly.
Usage recommendations
For best results when shooting at the highest magnifications, use a tripod or copy-stand, employ focus stacking to increase depth of field, and use controlled lighting (LED ringlight or small directional lights) positioned to avoid shadowing within the limited working distance. The lens is manual-focus only, so allow time for careful focusing and fine adjustments when photographing minute subjects.
