Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Canon RF Summary
Designed exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Canon RF delivers exceptional image quality from a compact and lightweight 619g design. The apochromatic optical design (APO) works even when using the high 2:1 magnification at infinity, resulting in sharp, well controlled images showing minimal chromatic aberration, purple fringing or ghosting.
You can capture beautiful close-ups of insects, flowers or any suitable subjects with excellent low light performance from the wide maximum f/2.8 aperture. Sharpness is noticeably high even wide open and all the way through to f/8 and f/11, which is ideal for macro work. Laowa included 13 aperture blades in the design, which help to render smooth out of focus areas and rounded bokeh. At 90mm this f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens is also ideal for portraits and similar short telephoto subjects where sharpness and control over depth of field are desirable.
Key Features
- Compact lens design exclusively for mirrorless cameras
- 2x magnification for extreme close-ups
- Apochromat APO design
- Outstanding sharpness
- Smooth bokeh from 13 aperture blades
- Focusing from 20.5cm to infinity

Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Canon RF in More Detail
2x Magnification
With double the magnification ratio more details of the subject are shown clearly and the lens is suitable for capturing tiny insects and doing super close-up shots. Lens magnification ranges from 0.1x to 2x while focusing as close as 20.5cm to infinity, with the maximum 2:1 ratio. This allows you to conveniently capture objects of different sizes and astonishing images can be more easily created.
Apochromatic APO Design
The apochromatic APO optical design ensures impeccable results throughout the focal range, aperture range and across all magnifications resulting in:
- Chromatic Aberration (CA) at both in-focus and out-of-focus areas
- Purple fringing and ghosting are controlled to minimum
- Achieve high image quality
- Reduce post-editing time
Designed exclusively for mirrorless cameras
Laowa designed the 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens exclusively for mirrorless systems with a shorter flange distance, including this version for full-frame Canon RF cameras. The resulting design weighs around 619g and measures approximately 120mm long, making it the most compact macro of this focal length found in the RF lens range.
Outstanding sharpness
Three extra-low dispersion elements are included within 13 elements in total, providing high optical quality with outstanding results from corner to corner. Sharpness is perceptible even when wide open, right through to f/8 and even f/11 and the lens demonstrates great contrast and resolution.
Beautiful bokeh rendition
With an aperture design which features 13 blades the Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Canon RF mount renders pleasing rounded bokeh balls and smooth out of focus areas. This is ideal for capturing both close-ups and portraits when used as a short telephoto prime lens. The internal focusing design also helps to maintain lens length and reduces the chances of bumping your subject, whilst reducing the chance of dust from entering the lens.

Our Verdict
The Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens has been designed to complement Canon’s full-frame mirrorless EOS R cameras with high resolution sensors. It is compact for a short telephoto prime and features an internal focusing mechanism to maintain the lens size and balance. The headline 2:1 macro magnification delivers truly spectacular images, which are suitably sharp and well controlled thanks to the latest optical design. This features an Apochromatic APO design as well as three special lens elements to increase sharpness across the frame. Aberrations are well controlled and there’s minimal purple fringing to deal with in post production.
You can focus extremely close to your subject from 20.5cm through to infinity where you’ll see the 2x ultra macro magnification ratio to enlarge your subject. Out of focus areas are silky smooth and you can render pleasing bokeh thanks to the 13-bladed aperture design. If you shoot without macro lighting the aperture is bright enough to gather light even in dimly lit situations and results are excellent throughout the aperture range. Laowa has pulled out all the stops with this new mirrorless macro design and it will no doubt bring a lot of pleasure to photographers who enjoy capturing extreme close-up macro images.
