Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for L-Mount Summary
With a design created exclusively for full-frame mirrorless cameras, the Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for L-Mount delivers exceptional image quality from a compact and lightweight 619g body. The apochromatic optical design (APO) works even when shooting at the high 2:1 magnification at infinity, with extremely sharp, well controlled images showing minimal chromatic aberration, purple fringing or ghosting.
You can capture beautiful close-ups of insects, flowers or any other subjects at twice the magnification and the prime affords excellent low light performance from a wide f/2.8 aperture. Sharpness is high even shooting wide open all the way through to f/8 and f/11, which is ideal for macro work. Laowa also created a 13 bladed aperture diaphragm, which help to render smooth out of focus areas and pleasing rounded bokeh. At 90mm this f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens is an excellent choice for portraits and similar short telephoto subjects, where sharpness and control subject separation are desirable.

Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for L-Mount in More Detail
2:1 magnification
With up to 2x magnification you can capture extremely fine details of your subject, perfect for tiny insects, flowers, textures and close-up shots of all kinds. The magnification ranges from 0.1x to 2x while focusing as close as 20.5cm to infinity, with a maximum 2:1 for astonishing images of different sizes.
Apochromatic APO Design
The apochromatic APO optical design delivers superb results from minimum focus distance to infinity. You also see well controlled images across the aperture range even wide open and through all magnifications.
- 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
Exclusively for mirrorless cameras
The 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO is designed exclusively for mirrorless systems with a shorter flange distance. The result is lightweight with the lens weighing around 619g and approximately 120mm long, perfect for full-frame L mount camera bodies.
High levels of sharpness
The 13 element design includes three extra-low dispersion elements, 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 to match the resolution.
Beautiful bokeh rendition
The 13 bladed aperture design in the Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens renders pleasing rounded bokeh balls and smooth out of focus areas when desirable. This is ideal for capturing close-ups and portraits, when being used as a short telephoto prime portrait lens. Internal focusing also helps to maintain length and weight distribution, whilst reducing the chances of accidentally knocking into your subject. This also contributes to keeping dust out of the lens.

Our Verdict
Laowa has an extensive catalogue of accomplished macro lenses for all camera systems, with this 90mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens providing a great choice within the L-Mount lens range. It combines an extremely high 2x maximum magnification ratio with extremely high quality results. These are derived from the optical formula, which includes special lens elements as well as the APO apochromatic design. These combat image artefacts including chromatic aberrations, colour fringing and ghosting with excellent results, which not only provides impressive images, but reduces your editing time.
Sharpness is noticeably high across the frame, even when shooting wide open at f/2.8 and is maintained all the way to f/8 and beyond, which is particularly useful for macro photography. The aperture opening is made of a 13-bladed design, which renders pleasingly rounded bokeh and smooth out of focus areas when required. This allows you to isolate your subject and experiment with depth of field, when shooting anything from nature to portraits or product images.
