The Laowa 180mm f/4.5 1.5x Ultra Macro APO Auto Focus lens is Laowa’s first tele-macro lens, built to bring together macro precision, telephoto reach, and portrait-friendly compression in one compact design. With a powerful 1.5x magnification, advanced APO optics, and autofocus support on selected mounts, this lens is made for photographers who want outstanding detail and impressive versatility.

From intricate close-ups to subject-isolating portraits, this lens delivers crisp, highly detailed images with excellent color accuracy. Its apochromatic design helps suppress chromatic aberrations, while the optical construction ensures strong sharpness across the frame, even at high magnification.

Despite its long focal length, the lens remains remarkably portable. Weighing just 484 grams, it is a great choice for handheld shooting, field work, and travel photography. The 180mm focal length also gives you more working distance than shorter macro lenses, making it easier to light your subject and compose comfortably without getting too close.
