Watch the Summer issue of the PHOTONews Magazine (Coming in Mid-June, 2022) for an exclusive field test on the Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2x Ultra Macro APO.
This compact performer delivers exquisite results when paired with Sony, Leica, Canon or Nikon Mirrorless cameras.
Cecil the Cat – Eager to play with the Laowa Mini lens the moment it was delivered, I searched the house for subjects. Cecil the cat proved to be very accommodating.
Hoverfly species – Unable to wait for the abundant photo opportunities of summer, I had to settle for an alternative. I brought this old specimen of a Hoverfly out of its case and set it up for a photo session. No question, when photographing tiny subjects, it helps if they remain stationary while you compose your image.
Small Carpenter Bee – Richmond, Ontario – While photographing this bee on a flower, with a simple twist of the wrist, I brought the focus to its closest distance. This provided an awesome 2:1 Macro ratio.
