1.5x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E

The Venus Optics Laowa 180mm f/4.5 lens delivers 1.5x maximum magnification at a 180mm focal length for ultra-macro photography on Sony E-mount full-frame cameras. Its APO design minimises chromatic aberration to produce true-to-life colour and sharp detail. The lens suits photographers who need extreme close-up capability with a comfortable working distance from small subjects.

Autofocus with 300mm minimum focusing distance

An integrated autofocus system works alongside manual focus for precise control at close range. The minimum focusing distance is 300mm (11.81 inches) and the minimum working distance in manual mode is 14.7cm (147.6mm), giving space for lighting or composition. No special tools are required for installation; the lens mounts directly to the Sony E bayonet like any native lens.

Check Sony E-mount full-frame compatibility before

Verify that your camera body uses the Sony E mount and covers a full-frame image circle, as the lens is designed for that format. Confirm that your workflow can handle the f/4.5 maximum aperture and the 180mm focal length for your intended subjects. Buyers who need higher magnification than 1.5x or a wider maximum aperture should consider other options.
