Two black ultra-macro lenses for Sony FE mount

Venus Optics

Venus Optics Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X & 60mm f/2.8 Ultra-Macro camera lens

SKU CH-3VS2-ZFEED

Two manual-focus ultra-macro lenses for Sony FE: 25 mm f/2.8 covering 2.5–5× with 40–45 mm working distance, plus 60 mm f/2.8 at 2× magnification

  • 5×–5× magnification captures extreme detail with the 25mm f/2.8 lens
  • 60mm f/2.8 provides 2× life-size reproduction for versatile macro work
  • 45mm working distance at 2.5× gives room for lighting and composition
  • 40mm working distance at 2× keeps subjects undisturbed during close-ups
  • 8 elements in 6 groups with extra-low dispersion glass deliver corner-to-corner sharpness

Ultra-macro magnification range

The Laowa 25mm f/2.8 covers a continuous magnification range from 2.5x to 5x life size, while the 60mm f/2.8 delivers 2x magnification. Both lenses are manual-focus designs built for Sony FE mount cameras. They suit photographers who need extreme close-up detail beyond standard 1:1 macro capability.

Working distance at high magnification

At 2.5x the 25mm lens provides a 45 mm working distance, and at 2x it offers 40 mm, giving space for lighting and reducing disturbance of live subjects. The optical formula uses eight elements in six groups with extra-low dispersion glass for corner-to-corner sharpness. The compact, lightweight barrels make extended handheld field sessions practical.

Mount and focus requirements

These lenses require a Sony E-mount body and full manual focus operation with no electronic contacts. There is no autofocus, aperture communication or image stabilisation built in. Buyers who need automatic exposure metadata or focus assistance should verify their workflow supports completely manual lenses before ordering.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the Laowa 25mm f/2.8 produce during extended macro sessions?

The lens is a passive optical device with no motor or electronics, so it generates no heat and makes no noise regardless of how long you shoot.

Which camera body and mount must I already own to use these lenses?

You need a Sony full-frame or APS-C camera with an E-mount, because both the 25 mm and 60 mm lenses are built exclusively for that mount.

Will the 60 mm f/2.8 work properly on my older Sony A7 II without adapter issues?

Yes, the 60 mm lens mounts natively on any Sony E-mount body including the A7 II, and its manual focus and aperture rings operate mechanically so no electronic communication is required.
