Here are some of the new Laowa lenses Venus Optics will announce next year (2026):

• Laowa FF 45mm f/2.8 ultra macro full-frame 1-5X APO (11 elements in 9 groups)
• Laowa FF 17.5mm f/1.7 ultra macro full-frame 5-10X APO (17 elements in 12 groups)

Specifications:

• Full-range parfocal design throughout zooming (means the focus will not change as you increase magnification)
• Coaxial illumination (means light goes through the lens, hits the surface, and comes back; the lens acts as a condenser and an objective – suitable for inspection)
• Covers high magnification zoom from 1:1 to 10:1, filling the gap between a traditional macro lens and a microscope
• Longer working distance (40.35mm/22.5mm) facilitates lighting setup
• Adopts apochromatic (APO) optical design to effectively eliminate chromatic aberration, resulting in sharp images and accurate colors
• Full-frame lenses compatible with multiple mounts (E/Z/L/F/RF/EF)
• Meets the image needs of scientific research and commercial applications
