World first 👀 This wide-angle macro lens enables you to capture unique 1:1 environmental close-ups
Laowa's "world first" wide-angle lens makes it possible to shoot environmental macro shots
Laowa, a lens manufacturer, has unveiled the world's first full-frame AF 35mm lens with a true 1:1 magnification ratio. This innovative Laowa Acris 35mm f/2.8 1x Macro Apo lens captures life-size rendering of subjects within the wide-angle perspective. Unlike traditional macro lenses, this versatile lens offers a 1:1 reproduction ratio with a fast f/2.8 aperture and advanced autofocus.
The autofocus feature is available on Sony E, Nikon Z, and Canon EF mounts, while the manual focus version is compatible with Canon RF and L-Mount mounts.
The lens incorporates Laowa's apochromatic optical design, which eliminates chromatic aberrations, resulting in high-quality images with accurate colors and sharp details. With a minimum focus distance of 180mm and a minimum working distance of 48.6mm, the lens provides a comfortable working distance for macro photography. The Laowa Acris 35mm f/2.8 1x Macro Apo weighs differently across its mounts, ranging from 530g for the Canon DSLR version to 560g for the Sony mirrorless version.
All versions of the lens are weather-sealed, making it an excellent choice for outdoor and challenging shooting conditions. Priced at $449 (£339 / AU$645), the Laowa Acris 35mm f/2.8 1x Macro Apo is now available for purchase.
