Most dedicated macro lenses have a maximum 1:1 reproduction ratio, which means they can project an image of a subject onto the camera’s sensor at a similar size to real life. However, the Venus Optics Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro can project an image of your subject up to 5 times larger than it actually is, opening up a whole new world of macro photography. This great video review looks at the lens and the kind of performance and image quality you can expect from it in practice.
Coming to you from Stefan MallochThis featured video review looks at Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro lens. While this is not the first lens with such capabilities (with Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5X, for example), it’s both a fairly rare choice and, in this case, quite affordable. While using a traditional 1:1 macro lens opens up a whole new world of creativity, moving up to a lens with 5x capabilities is like opening up a whole world beyond, although it does require skill. special sound art. However, with good execution and often, a little patience, you will be rewarded with unique fascinating images rarely found elsewhere. Check out the video above for Malloch’s full thoughts on the lens.
