Astrhori 25mm f/2.8 2x-5x Super Macro Review

58

The Astrhori 25mm f/2.8 2x-5x Super Macro lens is a decent product for its price. It is a macro-only lens with a solid build quality. However, it struggles with sharpness and softness when shooting at very close distances. It may not be the best option for shooting in bright sunlight either, and it has some limitations with regards to focusing and controlling vignetting.

It is a challenging lens to use, but honestly, some of the shots it can produce are really enjoyable for fans of macro work.

Pros
  • Solid build quality
  • Unique macro-only experience
  • Good for macro enthusiasts
Cons
  • Struggles with sharpness and softness at closer distances
  • Challenges with focusing and controlling vignetting
  • Not the most versatile option

The lens provides reasonable sharpness at lower apertures, but it struggles with softness and diffraction at closer distances and higher apertures.

The Astrhori 25mm f/2.8 2x-5x Super Macro lens offers a unique macro-only experience, starting at 2x magnification and going all the way up to an incredible 5x magnification. The lens is solidly built with a focus on simplicity, featuring controls for focus and aperture and visible weather sealing. It provides reasonable sharpness at lower apertures, but struggles with softness and diffraction at closer distances and higher apertures. Users may find it challenging to achieve brilliantly sharp images with this lens, especially when focused all the way down. Additionally, shooting in bright sunlight can cause some issues with vignetting. Ultimately, the lens may not be the most versatile option, but it can be rewarding for fans of macro work at a price point of $250.
