Apochromatic Design

The apochromatic lens design is engineered for the best imaging performance. With 13 lenses arranged in 10 groups, it is a guarantee of high-quality frames with unprecedented sharpness and fullness of detail. The innovative design also includes 3 special elements with very low dispersion. 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 Lens

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 a mirrorless camera with Leica L mount! At the same time, the lens weighs 619 g, and its length is only 12 cm.

Double Image Magnification

The Venus Optics Laowa 90mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro APO lens for Leica L allows you to adjust the focus from twice zoom, all the way to infinity. The minimum focusing distance is only 205 mm! This allows you to easily 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 take photos with a shallow depth of field. With its help, you will take even more beautiful photographs with blurred backgrounds and sharp foreground characters. In combination with a full-frame camera, you will highlight the main subject of the photo in a professional way. The 15-blade aperture will also give you a smooth and round bokeh devoid of sharp edges.

Internal Focusing Technology

The Venus Optics Laowa 90 mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro APO lens for Leica L uses Internal Focusing technology. Thanks to it, all lens movements take place inside the lens body. Thus, changing the focus does not affect the length of the unit, providing greater comfort and optimal stability. Internal Focusing will also better protect the lens from dust, which is harder to get inside the device, compared to designs offering external focusing.
