85mm f/5.6 2X Ultra Macro APO overview

The Laowa 85mm f/5.6 2X Ultra Macro APO is an 85mm f/5.6 prime for full-frame cameras on Sony E-mount, Nikon Z, Canon RF, Leica M and L-Mount, announced by Laowa in November 2021. 112 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits macro. It is a weaker pick for low light without a tripod and fast-moving subjects.

No store we track in Singapore lists it today. It is listed in the United States, Europe and Australia.

Worth comparing it with the Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO, Canon RF 85mm F2 Macro IS STM and Tamron 90mm F/2.8 Di III MACRO VXD.
