Laowa 180mm f/4.5 1.5x Ultra-Macro APO Lens

Discover incredible detail with the Laowa 180mm f/4.5 1.5x Ultra-Macro APO Lens for Canon EF. This telephoto macro lens offers up to 1.5x magnification, letting you capture subjects larger than life. It’s ideal for close-up photography of insects, plants, textures, and scientific subjects.

The lens uses an advanced apochromatic (APO) design to reduce both lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberrations. This results in sharp, color-accurate images from edge to edge. With 12 elements in 9 groups and a 9-blade aperture, it also produces smooth, natural bokeh for pleasing background separation.

At 180mm, this lens gives you a working distance of about 147.6mm at 1.5x magnification. This extra space is helpful when lighting your subject or working with delicate, moving organisms. The internal focusing system keeps the lens size consistent during use and adds stability when shooting on a tripod.

Autofocus is supported from around 1.5 meters to infinity on Canon EF cameras. For closer macro work, manual focusing gives you the control needed for sharp results at high magnification.

Despite its powerful reach and magnification, the lens is lightweight at just 484 grams. This makes it easier to carry during outdoor shoots. A 62mm front filter thread allows you to use filters or attach lighting accessories as needed.

The Laowa 180mm f/4.5 is a unique tool for serious macro photographers. Its combination of extended focal length, high magnification, and excellent optical performance makes it perfect for capturing tiny details with stunning clarity. Whether you’re photographing nature or documenting fine textures, this lens helps you achieve professional results with your Canon EF system.
