Apochromatic Optics

The apochromatic optical system offered by the Venus Optics Laowa 58 mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO to Canon RF lens is formed by 14 elements arranged in 11 groups. Thoughtful design has made it possible to almost completely eliminate the occurrence of bothersome chromatic aberrations - both in and out of focus points. This will significantly reduce the digital processing time of the images taken.

Unparalleled Image Sharpness

The optical system uses the highest quality materials. 3 ED lenses guarantee low dispersion. However, that's not all. The Venus Optics Laowa 58 mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for Canon RF is also distinguished by its ultra-high refraction level. Such parameters will provide stunning details and adequate contrast from the center to the edges of the frames.

Impressive Depth

Compared to many competitors in the macro segment, the Venus Optics Laowa 58mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for Canon RF offers a shorter focal length. This will give your photos even more depth. Depending on your artistic vision and selected settings, the background can be more prominent or impressively blurred. In addition, the 13-blade aperture will provide beautiful circular bokeh in place of points of light, such as lanterns or colored lights.

Internal Focusing Technology

Internal Focusing technology is an even more comfortable way to work with the lens. Thanks to it, all lens movements take place inside the body. Changing the focus does not affect the length of the lens, ensuring optimal stability. Internal Focusing also helps better protect the device from dust, which is harder to get inside the body, compared to designs offering external focusing.
