Rated 4 out of 5

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.

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.

You can elevate your photography to new heights with the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 Ultra Macro APO Lens for Nikon Z. This high-quality, professional-grade lens is designed specifically for mirrorless cameras, offering a 28.55-degree angle of view for full-frame formats. As the smallest 2x macro lens on the market, it's incredibly portable, weighing in at just around 289g (Leica M mount without caps and hood). This makes it an ideal choice for macro photographers who need a reliable, lightweight lens for fieldwork.

Innovative in its design, this lens features an apochromatic (APO) characteristic that minimizes chromatic aberration in both in-focus and out-of-focus areas. This results in sharper, clearer images with less time spent on post-production editing.

The Laowa 85mm f/5.6 Ultra Macro APO Lens is not just a macro lens; it's also versatile enough to serve as a portrait lens. With its ability to focus from 2:1 magnification to infinity, you can capture everything from extreme close-ups to stunning landscapes. The minimum focusing distance of 6.4" (16.3cm) allows you to capture intricate details of small objects, making it a perfect tool for macro photography.

The lens also features an internal focusing design, which prevents collision with your subject and keeps dust and debris from entering the lens. This ensures your lens stays clean and your images stay clear.

Whether you're a professional photographer or a passionate hobbyist, the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 Ultra Macro APO Lens for Nikon Z is a durable, reliable, and innovative addition to your photography equipment.
