Venus Optics has announced its bringing its Laowa 85mm F5. 6 2x Ultra Macro APO lens to L-mount camera systems. Until now, the fully-manual 85mm F5. 6 2x macro lens was limited to other full-frame mirrorless mounts, including Canon RF, Nikon Z and Sony E mount.
Now, full-frame and APS-C L-mount users can join in on the fun. The lens is constructed of 13 elements in nine groups, including three extra-low dispersion elements.
Below is a sample gallery of images captured with this lens (although not the L-mount version):

It features a seven-blade aperture diaphragm, has an aperture range of F5. 6 through F22, uses a 46mm front filter thread and has a minimum focusing distance of 16. 3cm (6. 4”). The Leica L mount version measures 53mm (2”) in diameter and 81mm (3. 2”) long, weighting in at 259g (9. 1oz).
The Laowa 85mm F5. 6 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for L-mount cameras is currently available to purchase through Venus Optics’ online store for $449. The lens comes with front and rear lens caps as well as a cloth carrying case.
