Venus Optics has announced the Laowa 90mm F2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO, its latest macro lens designed for full-frame mirrorless camera systems.

The lens is synthetic of 13 elements in x groups, including 3 extrea-low dispersion (ED) elements. It features a 13-blade aperture diaphragm, has an discontinuity range of F2.8, uses a 67mm front filter thread and has a minimum focusing distance of 20.5cm, at which information technology offers 2x magnification.

Despite its longer focal length, the lens is significantly smaller than its contemporaries, including Laowa's ain 100mm F2.8 2x macro lens, which was released three years ago. It measures 74mm (two.9") in diameter past 120mm (4.7") long and weighs 619g (21.8oz). And information technology won't get any larger than that, thanks to its internal focus mechanism.
