Laowa designed the 180mm f4.5 1.5x Ultra Macro APO for macro specialists who need extra reach without sacrificing portability. Its 1.5:1 magnification goes beyond life-size reproduction, revealing detail invisible to the naked eye. An apochromatic design with 12 elements in 9 groups corrects chromatic aberration and maintains sharpness at high magnification. Manual focus offers greater precision throughout the entire focusing range.
