About Venus Ultra Macro APO

From the renowned lens manufacturer, Laowa, comes the innovative 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens, specifically optimized for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) cameras. This high-quality lens holds the distinction of being the first to offer a 2:1 maximum magnification, doubling the standard 1:1 ratio found in most MFT macro lenses. This unique feature allows photographers to capture extreme close-up shots with unparalleled detail and precision.

The Laowa 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens boasts an apochromatic (APO) design, meticulously engineered to minimize chromatic aberration in both in-focus and out-of-focus areas. This advanced design significantly enhances the sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy of your photos, making it an ideal choice for both macro and portrait photography.

Equipped with a built-in CPU chip and motor, this lens allows for seamless aperture adjustment directly from the camera body. The automatic focus magnifier is activated when the focus ring is rotated, providing easier focus control and ensuring your lens data is accurately recorded on EXIF.

Despite its advanced features, this lens maintains a compact and lightweight design, measuring just 3.1" (79mm) in length and weighing a mere 8.4oz (240g). This makes it a reliable and versatile companion for outdoor photography, offering the perfect balance of portability and performance.

The Laowa 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens is the successor to the successful Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO for APS-C cameras. It has been specially developed for MFT mirrorless camera users and is compatible with a wide range of MFT cameras from leading brands like Panasonic, Olympus, and BMPCC 4K. Experience the difference in your macro photography with this durable and innovative lens.
