Compact Ultra-Macro Lens for Nikon F

The Venus Optics Laowa 25mm f/2.8 is built for photographers who need extreme close-up capability from 2.5X to 5X life size. Its compact barrel and light weight make it practical for field work as well as controlled indoor setups. The design suits both professional and leisure macro shooting without the bulk of traditional high-magnification optics.

Magnification Range and Working Distance

Comfortable coverage spans 2.5X to 5X reproduction ratios, with 45 mm working distance at 2.5X and 40 mm at 5X. The extended working distance leaves room for lighting the subject, which is often the limiting factor at these magnifications. Optical performance is delivered through 8 elements in 6 groups including an extra-low dispersion element for corner-to-corner sharpness.

Build Integration and Lighting Freedom

The small lens barrel reduces physical obstruction around the subject, allowing more light to reach the scene and simplifying diffuser or flash placement. Nikon F mount compatibility fits directly onto compatible bodies without adapters. The relatively greater depth of field compared to other extreme macro lenses eases focus stacking and single-shot capture alike.

Questions about this item

Will the 25mm f/2.8 Ultra-Macro focus correctly on my older Nikon F-mount body without electronic contacts?

Yes, the lens uses a purely mechanical Nikon F mount with manual aperture control, so it works on any F-mount camera regardless of electronic coupling.

How can I verify the 2.5X to 5X magnification range is accurate once the lens is mounted?

Focus at the closest setting, photograph a ruler, and confirm the recorded subject width matches 2.5X–5X life size; the extended 40–45 mm working distance also lets you check lighting clearance.

Does the box include a lens hood or tripod collar, or must I buy them separately?

The supplied package contains the lens, front and rear caps, and a pouch; a dedicated hood and tripod collar are not included and are sold as optional accessories.
