Optical Structure
Laowa’s 58mm f2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO lens sees the same exceptionally crafted optical structure as other Laowa Ultra Macro lenses in the series. The optical pathway is made up of 14 elements arranged into 11 groups. This includes the use of 3 extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses and 3 lenses with Ultra-High Refractive Index which, as a result, enables image capture that exhibits incredible sharpness, colour and detail - all free of chromatic aberration (CA) at both in-focus and out-of-focus areas (Longitudinal CA).
Up to 2x Magnification
Unlike many other similar lenses on the market, this lens offers a maximum magnification of 2x. This is not only an incredible feat, but it also offers a whole level of versatility and creative shooting options that are simply not possible on other lenses. Complimenting this is the wide, bright and fast f2.8, and the 18cm close focus. Combing these features, capturing compelling and dramatic imagery is made easy.

FAQs:
How do you use a macro lens?
Macro lenses by design, enable close-up detail capture of a chosen subject. This lens takes that a step further by providing a wider angle of view, a faster aperture and a closer working distance than similar lenses on the market. Take this lens and find your subject. Look closely and identify a feature you want to highlight, and snap the shot. If it’s a bug - be quick!
Can this lens be used on a crop sensor?
Whilst you can use this lens on crop sensors (Canon, Nikon and Sony options), it’s not advised as this lens is designed for use on full-frame cameras.
What is the lens hood used for?
The lens hood is primarily designed to prevent unwanted stray light from entering the lens by extending and shading the end of the lens. In addition, since the end of the lens is extended, you also get the added benefit of some extra protection from accidental impact.
