90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO overview
The Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO is a 90mm f/2.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, Nikon Z, Canon RF, L-Mount and Micro Four Thirds, announced by Laowa in June 2022. 139 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits and macro. It is a weaker pick for fast-moving subjects.
No store we track in Europe lists it today. It is listed in the United States, Australia and Singapore.
Worth comparing it with the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO, Zeiss Loxia 2.4/85 and Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Di III MACRO VXD.
