An Intricate Design

This lens is equipped with a simple yet intricate lens structure that allows it to be used for a surprising amount of applications. The advanced optical structure is comprised of nine glass elements that are arranged in seven groups. High-quality and premium glass is used to ensure clarity-rich images, edge-to-edge sharpness and accurate colour rendition in each shot taken. The main feature that characterises this lens is its ability to focus on subjects as close as 6cm away with a 2:1 magnification ratio. This ability provides incredible larger-than-life-size macro images without the use of extension tubes.

The lens is also able to focus all the way to infinity with a 1:10 magnification ratio which is what enables this lens to be used for a variety of uses. You can utilise the maximum f2.8 aperture for low-light shooting but also to play with selective focus and subject-background-separation of either close-up shots or portrait photography. The fourteen-blade rounded diaphragm makes for super-smooth out-of-focus areas with aesthetically pleasing bokeh.

Rugged and Ready

To protect the intricate lens structure, this lens is housed in an all-metal lens barrel that offers heightened durability and rigidity, making it able to withstand the rigours of professional use. This lens has a fully manual focus and aperture control without any electronic communication between lens and camera which reflects the precision engineering of the housing and internal structure.

Additionally, there’s a built-in lens hood that is designed to prevent stray light from entering the lens barrel and causing flare or ghosting in your images. This hood also provides a small amount of protection for the front lens element from accidental knocks and bumps. Finally, Laowa includes a 62mm UV filter that will add a further layer of protection for your front lens element.
