Product information

Description

Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2X Ultra Macro APO is a manual-focus macro lens designed for mirrorless (MILC) full-frame cameras. Offering up to 2:1 magnification, this compact lens combines apochromatic optical correction with a short working distance and internal focusing, enabling detailed close-up images with reduced chromatic aberration. The lens has a compact metal construction (approx. Ø53 mm, length 81 mm) and accepts 46 mm filters, making it suitable for portable macro and close-up photography as well as general use across the focusing range from infinity to 2x magnification.

Advantages

The lens provides high-magnification capabilities in a notably small and lightweight body, allowing easier handheld or field use compared with larger traditional macro optics. Its apochromatic (APO) optical design with extra-low dispersion elements minimizes colour fringing both in-focus and out-of-focus, reducing the need for chromatic aberration correction in post-processing. Internal focusing prevents external extension while focusing, lowering the risk of contact with subjects and limiting the ingress of dust. The ability to focus from infinity to 2:1 magnification adds versatility, permitting both macro detail work and longer-range shooting such as portraits with good image quality.

Suitable for

Macro and extreme close-up photography of insects, plants, small products and textures
Portable fieldwork and nature surveys where lightweight gear is required
Product and studio close-up work needing high magnification and fine detail
Occasional portrait or general shooting when longer working distance and rendering are acceptable

How to use

Mount the lens on a compatible mirrorless camera body and set the camera to manual focus. Compose and focus by turning the focus ring while observing magnified details through the viewfinder or live view; use focus peaking or magnified live view if available for precise focus at high magnification. When working at 2:1 magnification, position the subject carefully within the very short working distance (minimum focus distance ~16.3 cm). Use a tripod, focusing rail, or stable support for maximum sharpness when practical, and control camera shake with remote release or mirrorless stabilization if available.

Usage recommendations

For best results with the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2X Ultra Macro APO, combine manual focusing aids (focus peaking or magnified live view) with a stable setup at high magnification. Consider using diffused lighting or a ring light to evenly illuminate small subjects and reduce harsh shadows. Keep in mind the small maximum aperture (f/5.6) when choosing shutter speed and ISO; increase illumination or use a tripod to maintain low ISO and sharp images. Clean filters and lens surfaces before close-up shoots to avoid visible dust in macro images.
