## Long description

Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2× Ultra Macro APO is a compact manual-focus macro lens designed for mirrorless interchangeable‑lens cameras (MILC). Providing up to 2× magnification and an optical construction of 13 elements in 9 groups with apochromatic (APO) correction, this lens reduces chromatic aberration in both in‑focus and out‑of‑focus areas. With a 46 mm filter thread, 81 mm overall length and a small, lightweight metal barrel, the lens offers a portable solution for high‑magnification close‑up, product, nature and scientific photography while still covering infinity focus for broader use.
Advantages
The lens combines 2× maximum magnification with an APO optical design to minimise colour fringing across the frame, reducing the need for chromatic aberration correction in post‑processing. Its compact, lightweight metal construction makes it one of the smallest full‑frame 2× macro lenses, simplifying field work and handheld use. Internal focusing prevents the front element from extending, lowering the risk of contact with subjects and limiting dust ingress.
Suitable for
High‑magnification macro photography of insects, plants and small objects
Product and detail photography for e‑commerce and catalogues
Scientific, forensic or entomological documentation requiring accurate colour and fine detail
Portraits and short‑telephoto work when wider subject distance and shallow compression are desired
Key specifications

Length: 81 mm (approximate overall length)
Weight: approximately 252–259 g depending on mount
Focusing: manual focus with internal focusing mechanism
How to use
Mount the lens on a compatible mirrorless camera and set the camera to manual focus mode. Compose with a stable support or handheld depending on the subject and working distance; at high magnifications a tripod or focus rail is recommended for precise framing. Use careful manual focusing—turn the focus ring while observing the camera's live view or focusing aids to achieve critical sharpness. Adjust exposure settings to compensate for the f/5.6 aperture and for any close‑distance lighting falloff; use diffused light or macro‑specific illumination to avoid harsh highlights and deep shadows. When photographing live subjects, allow space and time for movement and maintain a safe distance to avoid disturbing them.
Usage recommendations
For best results at 2× magnification, use a stable mounting method (tripod or focus rail), controlled lighting (diffused LED or ring light) and focus‑stacking workflows when greater depth of field is required. The APO design reduces chromatic aberration but fine tuning in post‑processing can further improve contrast and colour fidelity. Due to the manual focus operation, allow additional time for setup when shooting moving subjects.
