Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony FE Bundle

90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens

The Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony FE is a manual-focus prime built for full-frame Sony E-mount cameras. It delivers 2:1 magnification with a 20.5 cm minimum focusing distance, allowing photographers to capture minute subjects at twice life-size. The apochromatic design uses 13 elements in 10 groups, including three extra-low dispersion elements, to suppress chromatic aberration across the frame. This bundle adds a 67mm UV filter, a 67mm CPL filter, a lens shade and a cleaning kit for immediate field use.

2:1 magnification with infinity focus

The lens reaches 2x reproduction ratio for extreme close-ups while retaining the ability to focus to infinity, making it suitable for macro, commercial and portrait work. Its optical formula controls purple fringing and ghosting throughout the aperture range, reducing post-processing time. The 90mm focal length provides a comfortable working distance for live subjects and product shots. Photographers needing autofocus, image stabilisation or magnification beyond 2x will require a different tool.

Compact manual prime for tripod or handheld use

The lens is described as super compact and lightweight compared with equivalent macro optics, aiding balance on mirrorless bodies. Its all-metal barrel and precise manual focus ring encourage deliberate composition, especially when paired with the included lens shade to control flare. Power draw is irrelevant for this passive optical instrument, and operation is silent. Users who prefer automated focus or electronic aperture linkage should consider alternative systems.
