LAOWA 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO for MFT

The LAOWA 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO lens is a high-performance macro lens with a maximum magnification of 2:1 that is specially optimized for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system cameras. The high-quality optical design with 3 ED lenses provides effective apochromatic correction (APO) and eliminates chromatic aberration in both the in-focus and out-of-focus areas. This improves sharpness, clarity as well as color accuracy, prevents color fringing and greatly simplifies post-processing.

An aperture motor provides automatic aperture transfer and control directly on the camera. This allows focusing with an open aperture, which is a great advantage for macro shots. The EXIF data is transferred to the camera body and the focus magnifier is automatically activated when the focus ring is turned. The solid metal housing ensures the greatest robustness and outdoor usability. Despite this, this macro lens is extremely lightweight at just 240g and also very compact at only 79mm in length.

Unlike other macro lenses with a magnification of 1:1, this 2:1 magnification macro lens allows for much more extreme close-ups. The 50mm focal length is equivalent to a 100mm lens on full-frame cameras, making it also an ideal portrait lens with beautiful bokeh. Focusing is done manually.
