Venus Optics Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens Mount - Sony E

Venus Optics Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens

The Venus Optics Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens is a manual-focus APS-C macro lens capable of reproducing subjects at twice life size. Available for Canon EF-M, Canon RF, Fujifilm X, Nikon Z, and Sony E mounts, it combines 2:1 magnification with a compact 65mm telephoto design.

Built for macro photography, product details, insects, flowers, jewelry, and other small subjects, the lens focuses as close as 6.7 inches. Its internal focusing system keeps the barrel length unchanged during focusing, helping maintain predictable working geometry near a subject. A 52mm front filter thread also supports commonly available filters and accessories.

The optical formula uses 14 elements in 10 groups, including three extra-low dispersion elements that control chromatic aberration and color fringing. Apochromatic correction supports accurate color reproduction in both focused and defocused areas, while the nine-blade diaphragm produces smooth out-of-focus rendering. All five mount variants retain the same core optical specifications and manual-focus operation.

Key Features
