Venus Optics Unveils Macro Lens

Venus Optics has announced the new 90 mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO lens specially designed for fullframe mirrorless cameras. It is the eighth addition to Laowa’s 2:1 magnification macro lens lineup. It comes with a 20.5 cm minimum focussing distance and its magnification ranges from 0.1X to 2X.

The lens is engineered with 3 extra-low dispersion glasses, suppressing longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration across in-focus and out-of-focus areas. Purple fringing and ghosting are controlled to the minimum throughout the aperture range. The optical formula is designed based on the mirrorless system. It weighs 619 g, measures 74 x 120 mm and comes with 13 aperture blades. The internal focussing design is reported to help in avoiding collision of the lens with the subject and prevent the lens from dusting.

The Laowa 90 mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO is currently available for purchase via Venus Optics official website (http://www.venuslens.net/) and authorised resellers at a price of USD 499 (approx INR 39,000) for all mounts.
