## Long description

The Venus Optics Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2× Ultra Macro APO is a compact macro lens designed for mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras (MILC). It provides up to 2:1 magnification for high-detail close-up work while retaining the ability to focus to infinity, making it usable for macro and longer-range subjects. The optical construction uses 13 elements in 9 groups with apochromatic (APO) correction and three extra-low dispersion elements to minimize chromatic aberration in both in-focus and out-of-focus areas. Physically it is small and lightweight, with a short length and a 46 mm filter thread, intended for portable macro photography and situations where low weight and fine detail reproduction are required.
Advantages
The lens combines 2:1 magnification with an apochromatic optical design to reduce colour fringing and preserve fine detail at high magnifications. Its internal focusing mechanism prevents the front element from extending, lowering the risk of contact with subjects and reducing dust ingress. The small size and low weight make the lens easy to carry and handle on mirrorless camera bodies, enabling extended field work without heavy gear. Accepting 46 mm filters allows routine use of polarizers or light-control accessories.
Suitable for
High-detail close-up and macro photography of small subjects
Product and still-life photography where fine texture and detail matter
Nature and insect photography requiring high magnification
Lightweight travel or field setups where portability is important

How to use
Mount the lens on a compatible MILC camera body and set the camera to manual focus or focus assist mode for precise control at high magnifications. Compose and focus carefully when working near the 2:1 magnification range; small focus adjustments produce noticeable changes in framing. Use a stable support or a tripod for extended exposures or to increase reproducibility of focus and composition. When photographing living subjects, maintain a respectful distance and move slowly to avoid disturbing them; the internal focusing helps reduce the risk of contact with the subject.
Usage recommendations
For best results with the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2× Ultra Macro APO, use focus stacking or a narrow aperture where depth of field is critical, and consider diffused lighting to reveal surface texture without harsh shadows. Use the 46 mm filter thread to attach polarizers or protective filters as needed. The APO design reduces chromatic aberration, but careful focusing and stable support will further improve image sharpness at high magnification.
