Overview
The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro is the second lens in Laowa's 2:1 macro lineup, designed specifically for Sony FE mount cameras. It offers full-frame sensor coverage and a unique ability to focus from 2:1 magnification to infinity. Despite its similar physical size to other 100mm macro lenses, it delivers double the magnification. Additionally, it boasts an apochromatic (APO) characteristic, rendering chromatic aberration invisible. With a sophisticated 12 elements in 10 groups optical design, this lens ensures crystal sharpness in both macro and infinity distances.
Features
2:1 Magnification at the same physical size
Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra-Macro is the second 2:1 Macro lens that we have (The first one is the 60mm f/2.8). 100mm is one of the most common focal lengths for macro photography usage. All of the 100mm macro lenses in the market can only reproduce 1:1 magnification (life-size) images only. The extended 2x magnification means more details can be seen through the lens. Photographers can now take advantage of the wider magnification range to capture bugs of different sizes.
Apochromat APO design (invisible CA)
The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 has an Apochromat (APO) design where the chromatic aberration (CA) at BOTH in-focus & out-of-focus areas (Longitudinal CA) is controlled to the minimal. CA has long been one of the most annoying aberrations for macro photography and now you can forget about this and focus more on taking a great shot.
Similar size to a 1:1 macro lens
Despite the extended magnification range, the size of our Laowa 100mm is actually comparable to other macro lenses in the market.
Manual Mount
The Sony FE version of the Laowa 100mm Macro lens has a manual mount and the aperture is controlled by the aperture ring on the lens.
Outstanding Portrait lens with crystal sharpness
Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra Macro APO is not only an exceptionally macro lens. It can also focus to infinity and is a very decent telephoto portrait lens.
