Laowa 90mm f2.8 APO 2:1 macro lens for mirrorless cameras.

I've had this lens for about a week. I wanted the option to go in closer than 1:1 without resorting to tubes or auxilliary lenses.

It's completely manual with no electronic coupling. Image quality is superb.

Great image. How close have you been to the fly with the front lens?

Great image. How close have you been to the fly with the front lens?

Thank you.

I preset the magnification to 1.5:1, so a little larger than life size on the sensor.

At that magnification, the focus point is about 80mm forward of the front lens element.

Lighting is ambient and flash. I use the Meike MK320 which has a flat profile - the flash tube is about mid-way along the lens barrel. There is a Dorr collapsible flash diffuser attached to the lens. Other attachments are Ezybounce bounce card and the Meike diffuser.
