The Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO lens, a successor to the highly successful Laowa 60mm f/ 2.8 2:1 Macro, is a professional-grade lens designed to cater to the specific needs of macro photographers. This innovative lens boasts a full-frame sensor coverage and a versatile focus range from 2:1 magnification to infinity. Unlike conventional 100mm macro lenses that only achieve 1:1 or smaller magnification, the Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 2:1 Macro lens offers a wider magnification range, making it an ideal choice for capturing smaller subjects, often a challenge in macro photography.
This feature enhances its versatility, making it a standout choice among macro lenses in the market. Despite its extended range, Venus Optics has expertly designed this lens to maintain a compact size, similar to other 1:1 macro lenses, making it a convenient and portable option for photographers. One of the defining features of the Laowa 100mm 2:1 Macro lens is its apochromatic (APO) characteristic, which effectively eliminates chromatic aberration, a common issue that can compromise image quality. This lens delivers exceptional performance in suppressing chromatic aberration, both in "in-focus" and "out-of-focus" areas, ensuring your subjects are free from unwanted color fringing.
Beyond its macro capabilities, the Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 also serves as an excellent portrait lens when focused to infinity. Its 12 elements in 10 groups optics design ensures crystal clear sharpness at both macro and infinity distances. The wide f/ 2.8 aperture and circular aperture contribute to a softly diffused bokeh, beautifully isolating the subject from its background. The lens features an internal focusing structure that remains unextended when the focus is adjusted, adding to its compact design. A multilayer coating is applied to minimize lens flare and ghosting, thereby enhancing contrast for superior image quality.
This high-quality lens comes bundled with a ProOptic 67mm filter kit, a cleaning kit, and a lens cap tether, providing photographers with a comprehensive package for their professional needs.
