Laowa 180mm f/4.5 1.5X Review | Macro and Wildlife in a Single Lens?
I tested the Laowa 180mm f/4.5 1.5X APO Macro in nature, for macro photography, bird photography, and various other shooting scenarios. How does the long focal length improve the working distance in macro photography? What details can be captured with 1.5X magnification?
So, can this lens be used for portraits and wildlife photography in addition to close-ups? In this video, I discuss the lens's physical structure, focusing capabilities, APO optical design, and connection options with different systems, using examples of shooting moments, photos, and videos. In the shots I took with the Sony a6700, we look at both the details of small creatures and more distant subjects in nature.
📷 What's in the video? • Design, size, and user experience • Macro working distance and focusing • 1.5X magnification and detail examples • APO optical design and chromatic aberration • Portrait and bird photography outside of macro • Video usage and cropping • Bayonet and mounting options • Photo and video examples from the field Do you think the biggest advantage of a 180mm macro lens is its working distance or its ability to simplify the background?
