New product
It features an apochromatic (APO) characteristic that makes chromatic aberration at both in-focus and out-of-focus areas virtually invisible. This new 100mm lens can cover full-frame sensor size and focus from 21 magnification to infinity. The lens has a similar physical size to other 100mm Macro lenses in the market, but its wider magnification range allows macro photographers to capture subjects of any size. This 100mm f/2.8 lens can also focus to infinity and serve as a portrait lens with exceptional optical quality.
Just because it's 100mm does not mean it's normal.
Laowa 100mm f/2.8 21 Ultra-Macro is the second 21 Macro lens 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 11 magnification (life-size) images. 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 at different sizes.
The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 has an Apochromat (APO) design where the chromatic aberration (CA) at both in-focus and out-of-focus areas (Longitudinal CA) is controlled to a minimum. 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.
Despite the extended magnification range, the size of our Laowa 100mm is actually comparable to other macro lenses in the market.
The lens provides smooth bokeh rendering, enhancing the aesthetic quality of your images.
Laowa 100mm f/2.8 21 Ultra Macro APO is not only an exceptional macro lens; it can also focus to infinity and is a very decent telephoto portrait lens.
