Magnification
Unlike most macro lenses on the market which reproduces a 1:1 magnification, the Laowa 50mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro Lens has as power 2:1 maximum magnification - That provides you with a 2x magnification of your subject which is amazing for capturing a glimpse of insects or small plants.

FAQs:
What does Micro Four Thirds mean?
Micro Four Thirds or M43, relates to the sensor's aspect ratio of 4:3, where APS-C would be 3:2. The numbers ‘4:3' relate to the printing size of 8x10, with two M43 camera examples being the Panasonic Lumix G9 and the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III.
What cameras are designated as M43?
The four key brands that manufacture MFT (or M43) mount cameras are Panasonic, Olympus, Blackmagic and DJI. The great thing about Micro Four Thirds lenses is that they are compatible across a more versatile range of camera bodies. For example, you could use the Laowa 7.5mm f2 lens on your Panasonic Lumix G9, and then switch to your DJI X5 series drone for superior aerial image capture.
