After capturing the intricate details of macro photography and the expansive beauty of infinity focus, the Laowa 60mm f/ 2.8 2X Ultra-Macro Lens for Canon EF-mount, from Venus Optics, stands as a versatile, high-quality, and professional choice for photographers. This prime portrait-length lens boasts the unique capability of capturing close-up subjects as near as 2.4" with a 2:1 magnification ratio, as well as distant subjects with infinity focus and a 0.1 x magnification. This innovative lens offers the flexibility of manual focus and manual aperture selection, allowing photographers to seamlessly switch from detailed macro shots to full-length subjects at a distance, eliminating the need for extension tubes or other adapters.
Optimized for use on APS-C format sensors, it provides a 90mm equivalent focal length, but it's also compatible with full-frame format DSLRs, with minimal vignetting at infinity focus. Constructed with nine elements in seven groups, the Laowa 60mm f/ 2.8 Ultra Macro Lens features two moving lens groups to control focusing and prevent barrel distortions. This design ensures high image clarity, sharpness, and color accuracy for every shot. Additionally, a rounded 14-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth out-of-focus quality, enhancing the depth of field, especially when working with near subjects and selective focus techniques.
The lens bundle comes complete with a ProOptic 62mm filter kit, cleaning kit, lens cap tether, lens case, lens cleaner, and software kit, making it a comprehensive solution for both professional and aspiring photographers seeking to explore the world of macro photography.
