What is claimed to be the world\u2019s first 2x macro lens for Micro Four Thirds bodies has been introduced by Chinese lens maker, Laowa. The\u00a0 Laowa 50mm f\/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO has a 2x maximum magnification ratio, alongside a minimum focusing distance of 13.5cm. The lens has an equivalent focal length of 100mm, so it can be put to other uses alongside macro, such as portraits and wildlife.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

It also features an apochromatic design, with 14 elements in 10 groups. Three of these three are extra-low dispersion glass to reduce chromatic aberrations. A CPU chip and motor inside the lens mean you can control the aperture from your camera, rather than using a manual ring. The Laowa 50mm f\/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO measures 79mm, weighs 240g and costs \u00a3399. Further details here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
