Laowa ACRIS 35mm f/2.8 1X Macro APO Lens with Auto-Aperture - Canon EF

The ACRIS 35mm is a lens designed for photographers who demand nothing less than the highest quality. Engineered specifically for the world of macro photography—where every micron counts—it combines life-size (1:1) reproduction capabilities with a versatile wide-angle perspective. It offers excellent sharpness, precise autofocus, and a bright f/2.8 aperture, all housed in a robust, all-metal body.
It is ideal for product, food, nature, and environmental macro photography, allowing you to capture life-size details while maintaining a broader view of the scene.

1:1 Wide-angle macro magnification
Unlike traditional close-up lenses, which typically max out at 0.5X magnification, the ACRIS 35mm f/2.8 allows you to shoot subjects at a 1:1 reproduction ratio, delivering extraordinary detail.
While traditional macro telephoto lenses (such as 90mm or 180mm) isolate the subject by almost completely eliminating the surrounding context, the 35mm focal length maintains a natural field of view. This wide-angle perspective allows for a broader narrative, preserving depth and the surrounding environment without the extreme distortion typical of ultra-wide-angle macro lenses.

Dual-mode hybrid focusing: from infinity to macro
The ACRIS 35mm features a versatile dual-mode focusing system designed to ensure speed and precision at all distances:
- Standard autofocus (infinity - 0.5m): delivers fast, responsive, and accurate focusing for everyday photography, street photography, and environmental portraits.
- Macro focus assist (0.5m - 1:1): in the close-up range, a focus assist system enables highly precise, tactile manual adjustment via micro-steps. This setup integrates seamlessly into focus-bracketing workflows, making focus stacking simple, efficient, and accurate—whether handheld or on a tripod—even for macro photography requiring deep depth of field.

Edge-to-edge sharpness at all distances
With an optical construction comprising 13 elements in 10 groups, the ACRIS 35mm maintains high edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast across its entire focusing range.
Even at the extreme 1:1 ratio—where traditional lenses may suffer from field curvature and edge softness—the ACRIS preserves micro-textures and the finest details, whether shooting wide open at f/2.8 or at narrower apertures. Apochromatic (APO) optics and natural color rendering
Laowa's renowned Apochromatic (APO) optical design minimizes both longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberrations in both in-focus and out-of-focus areas.
By bringing key wavelengths to the same focal plane, the lens delivers sharp, high-contrast edges, eliminates color fringing, and ensures authentic, natural color reproduction without the need for heavy digital post-processing corrections.

Wide f/2.8 aperture: subject isolation and soft bokeh
The bright f/2.8 maximum aperture offers two distinctive features:
- Remarkable subject isolation: it allows macro subject details to stand out instantly, dissolving complex environmental textures into a soft, creamy background.
- Soft, harmonious bokeh: out-of-focus areas are rendered with gently rounded edges and smooth transitions, adding depth and a cinematic quality to images while preserving the environmental context.
The wide aperture also provides significant flexibility in low-light conditions, such as under dense forest canopies or in dimly lit studio environments.
