The 65mm f/2.8 2X macro APO is the 1st macro lens that Venus Optics designs for APS-C cameras. Most of the contenders magnify 1.5X at most, but Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2X macro gives a greater magnification effect and creates up to 2X life-size images.

2X macro magnification
The lens offers a 2:1 maximum magnification ratio along with a minimum focusing distance of 6.7”(17cm). Different from traditional macro lenses, this 65 mm lens can focus from infinity to 2X magnification, making it an ideal option to tackle all kinds of macro photography scenarios. The wide magnification range is essential for shooting insects and plants at different sizes.

Apochromatic optical design
Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2X macro’s optical design incorporates 3 Extra-low Dispersion glasses to minimize chromatic aberrations across the frame. The lens has inherited the excellent APO design from Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X macro and can eliminate both lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberrations in the frame, meaning that chromatic aberration at both ‘in-focus’ & ‘out-of-focus’ areas is almost invisible to bare eyes.
