Venus Optics released the Laowa 58mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO, a mirrorless-designed macro lens offering a 40.9° angle of view on full-frame sensors in four mount options. And like many other Laowa macro lenses, it can focus from 2:1 magnification to infinity. It features an apochromatic design that chromatic aberration is compressed to the minimum. With three ED elements and three Ultra-High Refractive Index elements, the lens delivers an outstanding sharpness, the company says Despite its metal housing, the lens only weighs 595g which is extremely portable. It comes with 4 mount options: Sony E / Canon R / Nikon Z / L mount and a price of USD $499.
