Close-focusing, apochromatic, and compact, the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO is a sleek telephoto prime designed for APS-C-format Nikon Z-mount mirrorless cameras. Its macro design enables a greater-than-life-size 2:1 maximum magnification along with a 17 cm minimum focusing distance to suit working with close subjects. In regard to the optics, it uses three extra-low dispersion elements to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, it is a manual focus lens, with an internal focusing design, and has a nine-blade diaphragm to contribute to a smooth bokeh quality to suit shallow depth of field applications.
