Macro-Tele Prime. The revolutionary Venus Optics Laowa 180mm f/4.5 1.5x Ultra-Macro APO makes its mark as Laowa’s first ultra-macro telephoto lens, offering an incredible 5.8-inch minimum working distance and 11.8-inch minimum focusing distance to capture even the smallest of insects. Its stunning f/4.5 to f/32 aperture range can be used in a variety of lighting conditions, while its 9-blade diaphragm and 12 element/9 group optical design ensure clarified, sharp results.

Apochromatic Optical Design. Supporting capture at close-range with high magnification, this lens is equipped with an apochromatic optical design that effectively limits color fringing while maintaining clarity and detail, even at a long-range focusing distance. Its fixed focal length of 180mm and narrow field of view team up to capture anything from detailed portraits to magnificent close-ups.

Compact Design. Coming in at just 1.1 lbs and 5.3-inches long, this lens bridges portability and convenience without sacrificing impressive image capture. An assignable function button allows you to control exposure and camera functions, while the USB-C port provides firmware upgrades. Additionally, this lens features both autofocus and manual focus capabilities! Please note that autofocus is only available at distances of 4.9-feet or longer, and manual focus is required for close-up shots.
