Macro to end all macros

Designed specifically for extreme close-up photography, the Nikon F-mount Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro lens by Venus Optics is tailored to capture subjects at magnifications greater than life-size. With a magnification range from 2.5:1 to 5:1, this lens boasts a remarkably close minimum focus distance of just 6.8 inches at 5:1 magnification, coupled with a comfortable 1.6-inch working distance. Its wide-angle focal length contributes to greater depth of field compared to longer focal length macro lenses, enhancing image clarity. The optical design features an extra-low dispersion element that effectively minimizes color fringing and chromatic aberrations, ensuring exceptional clarity in captured images. Notably, this lens stands out for its sleek and lightweight design, facilitating easier handling and offering ample space for maneuvering artificial lighting setups, distinguishing it from other macro lenses on the market.

Features

The FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLR-compatible Prime 25mm f/2.8 lens serves as a versatile option for macro photography, offering a focal length equivalent to 37.5mm on DX models. Tailored for magnification ranges from 2.5:1 to 5:1, it delivers imagery surpassing life-size proportions, albeit lacking infinity focus capability. At 5:1 magnification, the lens boasts a minimal focusing distance of 6.8 inches and a working distance of 1.6 inches, while at 2.5:1, these figures extend to 9.2 inches and 1.8 inches, respectively, facilitating ample illumination for close-up subjects. Its wide-angle design augments depth of field, particularly advantageous for high-magnification shots compared to longer focal lengths. Manual focus ensures precise control over focusing distance, complemented by an extra-low dispersion element that minimizes chromatic aberrations and color fringing, enhancing clarity and color accuracy. With an eight-blade diaphragm, it produces pleasing out-of-focus effects when employing shallow depth of field, all within a slim and lightweight physical build conducive to handheld shooting and providing ample space for illuminating close-up subjects.
