Venus Optic Laowa 65mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro Sony E

The macro lens offers a twofold magnification effect, which is not available with most other lenses. The huge magnification range is especially important when taking pictures of insects or plants. But the minimum distance of only 17 cm is also worth mentioning, it ensures that you get very close to the desired subject. Optimised for the APS-C system, the images deliver amazing detail and contrast even at wide open apertures, from the centre of the frame to the corners. In addition, the lens shines with exceptionally good resolution and sharpness. Thanks to its light weight and compact design, the lens is ideal to take along and store anywhere.

The macro lens impresses with its low image field curvature, even sharpness over the entire image field and low distortion. It is particularly suitable for capturing small objects as faithfully as possible up to a scale of 1:1. It allows you to get very close to an object without blurring the image. This allows you to take impressive close-ups with a high level of detail.

This lens can only be focused manually. Although manual focusing takes longer and is more demanding than working with autofocus, it offers several advantages: It allows you to focus exactly on the point you want, giving you shots that are exactly what you want. Even in situations where autofocus would quickly be overwhelmed - for example, in low light, smooth surfaces with little texture or in foggy weather - you prefer to focus manually.
