  "account": "Laowa has unveiled its groundbreaking Laowa ACRIS 35mm f/2.8 1x AF Macro APO lens, heralded as the world's first 35mm f/2.8 lens with true 1:1 magnification for full-frame cameras. This innovative wide-angle macro lens is weather-sealed and boasts a metal body, and it is compatible with Sony E, Nikon Z, and Canon EF mount cameras in autofocus versions, with manual focus options available for Canon RF and L-mount cameras for $449.\n\nWith a minimum working distance of just 48.6mm, the lens invites users to get close to insects and creatures in their natural habitat. The lens features a 72mm filter thread, an 18-element, 10-group aperture design, and nine aperture blades for both autofocus and manual focus versions. Its internal focusing mechanism ensures precise focusing performance, while a weather-resistant design guarantees durability under various conditions.\n\nLaowa's ACRIS lens offers unparalleled macro reproduction, capturing subjects at life-size scale with exceptional clarity and detail. Unlike traditional long-focal-length macro lenses, this wide-angle 35mm lens combines true 1:1 magnification with an expansive 35mm field of view, resulting in an immersive perspective that captures both intimate close-up details and the surrounding environment. The lens's Apochromatic (APO) optical design eliminates chromatic aberration and color fringing, ensuring high-resolution images with accurate colors and contrast, even at wider apertures.",
