Good things come in small packages

The lens is extremely small which is a huge plus. The lens is manual only so there is a learning curve if you are not experienced. I have been able to take some sharp images with this lens but it is not as sharp as my Sony G lens. I look forward to taking this lens on my future travels.

Excellent macro lens.

By JOSEPH F.

This 85mm f/5.6 macro lens is an incredible value. It is compact and light in form factor, while still maintaining excellent optics. Highly recommended.

Find unparalleled precision and versatility with the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony FE, a marvel of optical engineering designed specifically for macro enthusiasts and portrait photographers who demand high-quality results. As the market's most compact 2x macro lens, this Laowa lens offers an impressive 28.55-degree angle of view on full-frame cameras, ensuring comprehensive coverage and stunning detail in every shot.

Crafted for those who appreciate the art of macro photography, this lens boasts a featherlight build, tipping the scales at a mere 289g for the Leica M mount variant (excluding caps and hood). Its portability is a game-changer for photographers who spend hours in the field, allowing for effortless maneuverability and ease of use without sacrificing performance.

The lens's apochromatic (APO) design is a testament to its innovative construction, effectively minimizing chromatic aberration at both the 'in-focus' and 'out-of-focus' areas. This feature ensures that your images are free from color fringing, delivering crisp, true-to-life results that require minimal post-production work.

With the ability to focus from a remarkable 2:1 magnification to infinity, the Laowa 85mm lens captures the minutest details of your subject, from the intricate patterns on an insect's wings to the delicate textures of plant life. The minimum focusing distance of just 6.4 inches (16.3cm) brings you closer to your subjects than ever before, while also doubling as a medium telephoto lens that can produce beautifully blurred backgrounds for your portraits.

The internal focusing mechanism of the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 Ultra Macro APO Lens is a feature that discerning photographers will appreciate. By eliminating external movement, the lens avoids any potential interference with your subject, while also keeping dust and debris at bay, preserving the integrity of your lens and your images.

Whether you're a macro aficionado or a portrait artist, the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony FE is a reliable, durable, and high-quality choice that promises to expand your creative horizons and bring a new level of detail and clarity to your photography.
