Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO - Nikon Z

Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO – 2X magnification and APO optics for precise close-ups

The Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO is a dedicated macro lens built for photographers who need high-magnification close-up capability and precise optical performance. With a 90mm focal length, the lens serves macro work while also adapting well to portraits and product photography. It delivers twice life-size reproduction, enabling you to reveal fine details that are normally invisible to the eye.

Designed for detailed macro work and versatile shooting

The lens achieves 2X magnification, letting you capture subjects at twice their actual size on the sensor. In addition, the advanced Apochromatic (APO) optical construction minimizes chromatic aberration. As a result, you get sharper images with accurate color reproduction and improved edge-to-edge clarity.

Moreover, the internal focusing design keeps the lens length stable during focus changes. This reduces extension, increases handling stability, and makes it easier to use accessories. Because the lens is compact and lightweight, it also supports comfortable handheld shooting and helps you maneuver during longer sessions.
