Venus Optics lenses for Canon EF
Venus Optics, a Chinese manufacturer that sells its lenses under the Laowa name, has 10 lenses for Canon EF. All are manual-focus primes for full frame, covering 12mm to 105mm, so there are no zooms and no autofocus. Five of them are macro lenses by name, among them the Venus Laowa 100mm F2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO and the Venus Laowa 25mm F2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro. Shift lenses such as the Venus Laowa 20mm F4 Zero-D Shift and the Venus Laowa 15mm F4.5 Zero-D Shift round out the selection, with the Venus Laowa 105mm F2 Smooth Trans Focus at the long end.
The fastest aperture is f/2. The lightest lens, the 25mm macro, weighs 400 g, the heaviest, the 20mm Shift, 747 g. Focal length, aperture and weight can be filtered in the list below.
