7Artisans INFINTE 65mm T2.9 2x Macro 65mm
The 2:1 magnification ratio and 6.7" close focus distance capture subjects at double life-size, while ED and aspherical elements maintain sharpness across the full-frame Sony E-mount image circle. The long 330° focus throw and 0.8 MOD cine gears provide precise, repeatable manual control for rack-focus shots, though the 858g weight limits handheld use. This lens is best for studio-based macro cinematographers and tabletop product shooters who prioritize extreme detail over portability.
