■ Product Features
2x Macro
The "LAOWA 90mm F2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO" is a medium telephoto lens with a 2x magnification ratio. With the Micro Four Thirds mount, it can capture a microscopic world, equivalent to 4x magnification in full-frame, that is imperceptible to the naked eye, filling the entire screen.

Improved Operability with Electronic Aperture (AE)
Equipped with electronic control for its 9 aperture blades, the aperture value can be changed directly from the camera body. It also supports recording shooting data (Exif), facilitating efficient photography.
APO (Apochromat) Design Suppresses Color Fringing
The luxurious optical design of 13 elements in 10 groups thoroughly suppresses chromatic aberration, which is often noticeable in macro photography. It achieves clear color reproduction without turbidity and sharp resolution across the entire range, even from wide-open aperture.
Compact, Lightweight, and Inner Focus Design
Weighing approximately 540g, it offers excellent mobility and adopts an "inner focus" design where the lens length does not change during focusing. This eliminates concerns about contact during macro shooting, allowing comfortable concentration on photography.
Also Ideal for Portraits
It combines a telephoto angle of view equivalent to 180mm in full-frame and a bright, beautiful bokeh at F2.8. From ultra-macro photography to impressive portraits with organized backgrounds, this single lens allows for a wide range of expressions.
High-Precision Manual Focus Lens
Its high-precision manual focus (MF) design enables precise focusing at the intended position, even with extremely shallow depth of field.
