Designed for full-frame Sony E macro work
This Laowa 90mm f/2.8 lens is built for mirrorless cameras with full-frame sensors and delivers 2x magnification for extreme close-up detail. It suits macro, commercial and portrait photographers who want to reproduce tiny subjects at twice life-size on the sensor. The apochromatic design keeps colour fringing low across the frame.
Compact APO build with manual focus control
The barrel is notably smaller and lighter than comparable macro lenses, making it easier to handle at high magnification. Three extra-low dispersion elements suppress longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration from f/2.8 to f/22. Focus is manual only, with a smooth ring that allows precise positioning at the 20.5 cm minimum focusing distance or out to infinity.
Check mount compatibility and workflow needs
Confirm your camera uses the Sony E mount and covers a full-frame image circle before ordering. Because focusing is entirely manual, buyers who rely on autofocus for moving subjects or focus-stacking automation should verify their workflow can accommodate it. The aperture ring clicks from f/2.8 to f/22 with no electronic contacts.

Questions about this item
What does the Sony E mount interface cap in practice?
The Sony E mount carries full-frame coverage with electronic aperture control from f/2.8 to f/22, so the camera body stops the iris down for you at the chosen f-stop.
What physical clearance does the 90 mm lens need to fit and mount?
It mounts directly on any Sony E-mount body; the barrel measures 90 mm focal length and focuses as close as 20.5 cm, so allow that working distance in front of the camera.
How is the lens installed and which step do people get wrong?
Align the white mount index on the lens with the dot on the camera, twist until it clicks, then remember the focus ring is manual-only — do not hunt for an AF switch that does not exist.
