Apochromatic design

The apochromatic lens construction is designed for the best imaging performance. With 13 lenses arranged in 10 groups, it is a guarantee of high quality frames with outstanding sharpness and fullness of detail. The innovative design also includes 3 special ultra-low dispersion elements. It is thanks to them that chromatic aberration has been reduced to a minimum – both in and out of focus areas.

Ideal duo with mirrorless

The designers at Venus Optics Laowa designed this lens specifically for the highest level of performance and comfort with mirrorless cameras. Compared to competitors with similar specifications, the glass stands out for its lighter and more compact design. It will be a natural extension of your Nikon Z-mount mirrorless camera! At the same time, the lens weighs 619 g and is only 12 cm long.

Double image magnification

The Venus Optics Laowa 90 mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro APO lens for Nikon Z allows you to adjust the focus from 2x zoom all the way to infinity. The minimum focusing distance is only 205 mm! This makes it easy to capture all the details of objects as small as flower stamens, ants or grains of sand.

Round bokeh and beautiful background blur

The lens allows you to successfully shoot images with shallow depth of field. With its help, you will take even more beautiful photographs with blurred backgrounds and sharp foreground characters. Combined with a full-frame camera, you will professionally highlight the main subject of your photo. The 15-blade aperture will also give you a smooth and round bokeh without sharp edges.

Internal Focusing Technology

The Venus Optics Laowa 90 mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro APO lens for Nikon Z uses Internal Focusing technology. This ensures that all lens movements take place inside the lens body. Changing the focus therefore does not affect the length of the unit, providing greater comfort and optimum stability. Internal Focusing will also better protect the lens from dust, which is more difficult to get inside the unit, compared to designs offering ‘external focusing’.
