LAOWA 25MM F2.8 - 2.5 - 5X ULTRA MACRO LENS FOR CANON RF

Venus Optics Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Lens for Canon RF

Dedicated to extreme close-up imagery, the Canon RF-mount Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro from Venus Optics is a specialized macro lens for photographing subjects with magnifications greater than life-size. Operating within a range of 2.5:1 to 5:1, this lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 6.8" with a 5:1 magnification along with a comfortable working distance of 1.6". This range is also benefited by the wide-angle focal length, achieving a greater depth of field compared to long focal length macro lenses. Complementing the close-up capabilities, the optical design incorporates an extra-low dispersion element to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for a high degree of clarity. Additionally, distinguishing itself from other macro lenses, this 25mm f/2.8 is characterized by its notably sleek and lightweight design for easier handling and more space to work with artificial lighting.

Prime 25mm f/2.8 is designed for full-frame Canon RF-mount mirrorless cameras.

Specifically developed for macro photography, this lens is designed to be used within a magnification range of 2.5:1 to 5:1 to produce images larger than life-size. This lens does not offer infinity focus.

When at a 5:1 magnification, the lens has a minimum focusing distance of 6.8" along with a working distance of 1.6", providing sufficient space to illuminate the subject. At the 2.5:1 position, a minimum focusing distance of 9.2" is possible along with a working distance of 1.8".

The wide-angle design benefits the high-magnification design by providing a greater depth of field compared to telephoto or long lens designs.

Manual focus operation for precise control over focusing distance when working with close-up subjects.

An extra-low dispersion element greatly reduces chromatic aberrations and color fringing to improve clarity and color accuracy.

The eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality when using shallow depth of field.

The particularly slim and lightweight physical design is easier to use handheld and offers more space for illuminating close-up subjects.
