58mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO

The Venus Optics Laowa 58mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO is a full-frame lens for Canon RF mount cameras. It achieves 2x magnification at a minimum focusing distance of 7.28 inches. The optical design uses 14 elements in 11 groups, including three ED and three Ultra-High Refractive Index glasses. A 13-blade aperture produces smooth background blur.

Apochromatic correction under sustained use

The apochromatic (APO) characteristic minimises chromatic aberration in both in-focus and out-of-focus areas. This reduces colour fringing and ghosting across the frame during extended shooting sessions. Consistent sharpness is maintained from 2:1 magnification to infinity. The 40.9-degree angle of view on full-frame sensors provides a natural perspective for macro and portrait work.

Manual focus installation and workflow

The lens mounts directly to Canon RF bodies such as the R, RP, R5 and R6 without adapters. Weighing approximately 595g, it balances well on mirrorless bodies for handheld use. Focus and aperture are controlled manually, requiring practice for precise 2x magnification framing. Buyers who need autofocus or electronic aperture control should consider alternative lenses.

Questions about this item

Does the 595 g lens feel front-heavy on an EOS R body after a full day of handheld macro work?

At 595 g the Laowa 58 mm f/2.8 stays light enough for extended handheld sessions, and its compact mirrorless design keeps the balance point close to the mount.

Which Canon RF bodies can autofocus with this manual-focus 58 mm f/2.8 macro lens?

None — the lens is manual-focus only, so it works on every EOS R series body (R, RP, R5, R6 and others) but requires you to turn the focus ring yourself.

Can I still shoot portraits at infinity with the 2:1 macro range on my EOS R5?

Yes, the focus ring travels from 2:1 magnification at 7.28" minimum distance all the way to infinity, letting you switch between macro detail and standard portrait framing.
