Suitable for extreme close-up imaging, the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro lens from Venus Optics is a specialized macro lens. Operating in the range of 2.5:1 to 5:1, this lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 6.8" at 5:1 magnification along with a comfortable working distance of 1.6". This range is also benefited by the wide-angle focal distance in order to achieve greater depth of field compared to long focal length macro lenses. Complementing its close-up capabilities, the optical design incorporates an extremely low dispersion element to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing for high degree of clarity. Additionally, distinguishing itself from other macro lenses, this 25mm f/2.8 lens is characterized by its particularly sleek and lightweight design for easier handling and more workspace with artificial lighting.
