Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Lens for Sony FE Summary
We’re excited to offer our full frame Sony Alpha mirrorless users the unique 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Lens from Laowa. It joins the macro foray with exceptional close-up capabilities of up to 5:1 magnification capturing larger than life details of the world around. The wide angle 25mm field of view results in excellent depth of field and a bright f/2.8 aperture helps with low light situations. The close focus distance down to 17.3cm lets you get into the action while the optical design incorporates an extra-low dispersion element. This addition helps to reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations with results showing good sharpness and clarity.

The 25mm f/2.8 Ultra Macro lens remains lightweight at 400g for easy handling and provides plenty of opportunity to work with a compatible flash for Sony cameras to light the subject. Please note this is a fully manual lens, with no electronic connections, so users will have to adjust focus and aperture manually and no Exif data will be relayed. Close focus is variable depending on the magnification range, going from 17.3 to 23.4cm with the barrel extending out of the body further, the closer the range.

Our Verdict
Laowa is a disrupter thanks to designing a series of weird and wonderful, larger than life-size macro models for the Sony mirrorless lens range. This 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra lens combines extreme close-up capabilities with a compact and lightweight design which enables handholding for longer periods. The compact design also affords extra space to employ artificial lighting without crowding your workflow or the subject. Optical performance is great, taken care of by 8 elements in 6 groups including an extra-low dispersion element. Whilst this isn’t there most complex optical design (take a look at the 24mm f/14 2x Macro Probe Lens for Sony E), it does capture clear results with sharp details at extraordinary magnification levels.
The aperture design includes 8-blades which renders pleasing out of focus areas, while full time manual focus provides the user with the opportunity to gain pin sharp results at precisely the right point. Whilst not for everyone, as the lens is fully manual you’ll be in control of focus and aperture settings, which makes for an immersive and satisfying experience when all the elements come together.
