Venus Laowa 60mm F/2.8 Ultra Macro Manual Focus Lens - for Canon EF Mount

hi everyone and today I'm look at something really quite interesting from a new Chinese lens manufacturer Venus optics a sixty millimeter F 2.8 two to one macro lens from their lower range it's primarily designed for aps-c cameras but will work with full-frame cameras very well except for some vignetting in the edges more on that later this lens has the distinguished ability of being able to focus twice as closely as other macro lenses without the need of extension tubes a double macro lens if you will it costs around $400 a reasonable price for a specialist macro lens as a new manufacturer on the market Venus optics are evidently trying to make their mark by offering unique products and they're clearly confident about what they're making as they sent me a sample lens a few weeks ago to test out let's see how it works 60 millimeter is shorter than the usual 100 millimeter focal length f
