Venus Optics has announced its bringing its Laowa 85mm F5.6 2x Ultra Macro APO lens to L-mount camera systems.
Until now, the fully-manual 85mm F5.6 2x macro lens was limited to other full-frame mirrorless mounts, including Canon RF, Nikon Z and Sony E mount. Now, full-frame and APS-C L-mount users can join in on the fun. The lens is constructed of 13 elements in nine groups, including three extra-low dispersion elements.
