The Venus Optics Laowa 58 mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for the Sony E allows you to adjust the focus from 2x zoom all the way to infinity.

Apochromatic optics

The apochromatic optical system offered by the Venus Optics Laowa 58 mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for Sony E 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. 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 a low level of dispersion. However, that is not all. The Venus Optics Laowa 58 mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for Sony E is also distinguished by its ultra-high refraction level. Such performance will ensure stunning detail and adequate contrast from the center to the edges of frames.

Impressive depth

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

Technology Internal Focusing

Internal Focusing technology makes working with the lens even more comfortable. It ensures that all lens movements take place inside the body. Focus changes do not affect the length of the lens, ensuring optimum stability. Internal Focusing also helps to better protect the unit from dust, which is harder to get inside the body, compared to designs that offer external focusing.
