## Long description

The Venus Optics Laowa VE2528L is an ultra-macro lens for L mount full-frame mirrorless cameras, designed for extreme close-up photography. Its optical construction of 8 elements in 6 groups and a fast f/2.8 aperture support high-resolution imaging at magnifications from 2.5x to 5x. The lens is compact and lightweight with a diameter of 82 mm, length of 65 mm and a weight of 400 g, offering a practical balance between handling and performance for macro work. It is a fully manual lens without electronic connections, optimized for close focus at 0.173 m and an extended working distance that improves lighting access when shooting small subjects.
Advantages
The lens provides extreme macro magnification up to 5:1 while remaining smaller and lighter than many comparative products, which makes it easier to position and transport. Its 25 mm focal length yields a relatively greater depth of field compared with longer macro lenses, aiding focus stacking and reducing the number of frames needed for subject coverage. Extended working distance at common magnifications allows more space for lighting and manipulation of the subject. The all-manual operation gives direct control over focus and aperture for precise composition in studio and field macro setups.
Suitable for
Extreme close-up macro photography of insects, small plants, textures and product details
Focus stacking workflows where increased depth of field per frame is beneficial
Studio and field macro setups requiring compact, lightweight optics and controlled lighting

How to use
Attach the lens to an L mount mirrorless camera body; note that this lens is fully manual and does not transmit electronic data to the camera. Set the camera to the desired manual exposure mode and use live view or magnified view to focus precisely at high magnifications. When shooting at 2.5×–5× magnification, allow for the extended working distance to position lights or diffusers between the lens and the subject. Use a stable support such as a tripod or macro rail to control framing and minimize movement; when necessary, employ focus stacking techniques to increase usable depth of field.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use continuous LED or ring lighting to maintain even illumination at close range and take several bracketed focus steps for stacking. Work on a stable platform, control airflow around the subject, and consider a remote shutter release or mirrorless camera electronic shutter to reduce vibration during exposures.
