The Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Lens for Canon RF is designed for photographers and creators who want to capture subjects at magnifications beyond life size. Operating within a 2.5:1 to 5:1 range, it reveals fine textures, tiny structures, and surface details that standard lenses cannot show at the same scale. This makes it useful for jewelry, coins, watch components, flowers, crafts, product texture shots, and educational imaging where precision matters. Its 25mm wide-angle design helps deliver more depth of field than many longer macro lenses, so more of the subject can remain visible while still achieving dramatic enlargement. At 5:1 magnification, the lens focuses as close as 6.8 inches and offers about 1.6 inches of working distance, giving room for lighting placement in close setups. Manual focus allows deliberate control when small adjustments have a major effect, and the slim lightweight barrel leaves more space around the subject for lighting tools. Built for Canon RF full-frame cameras and designed strictly for ultra macro work, this lens does not focus to infinity, keeping the optical layout centered on detailed close-up capture.Manufacturer Included Items:Venus Optics Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Lens for Canon RFFront and Rear Lens CapsBundle Items Include:Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro Lens for Canon RF Full Frame Manual Focus Extreme Close-Up PhotographyFlexible TripodCleaning KitLens PouchCap Keeper
