Description
The Venus optics Laowa 50mm F2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO prime is the first lens with 2:1 maximum magnification being optimised for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) cameras. It equips with an apochromatic (APO) design in which the chromatic aberration is eliminated. A built-in chip and motor allows aperture to be adjusted via the camera body. The compactness and lightweight also make this an ideal choice for macro and outdoor photography.
Unlike most of the MFT macro lenses in the market which can focus only up to 1X, the new Laowa 50mm macro lens offers a 2X maximum magnification ratio along with a minimum focusing distance of 13.5cm.
