Venus Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E, Bundle with ProOptic 67mm Filter Kit, Cleaning Kit, Lens Cap Tether

Under the banner of Laowa's esteemed 2:1 macro lens line-up, the Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E emerges as a superior choice for professional photographers. Building on the success of the Laowa 60mm f/ 2.8 2:1 Macro, this innovative lens offers a broader focal length, a favorite among macro photographers, and the ability to cover a full-frame sensor. Unlike other 100mm macro lenses on the market that only achieve 1:1 or smaller magnification, this high-quality lens can focus from 2:1 magnification to infinity. This wider magnification range makes it an ideal tool for capturing subjects of any size, from the smallest bugs to larger subjects, enhancing its versatility and making it a reliable addition to any photographer's toolkit.

Despite its wider range, the lens maintains a compact size, similar to other 1:1 macro lenses, thanks to Venus Optics' innovative design. The Laowa 100mm 2:1 Macro lens also boasts an apochromatic (APO) characteristic, ensuring chromatic aberration is virtually invisible. This feature is crucial in maintaining the integrity of your images, as chromatic aberration can often mar a perfect shot. This lens excels in chromatic aberration suppression, both in the "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 a commendable portrait lens when focused to infinity.

Its 12 elements in 10 groups optics design delivers crystal-clear sharpness at both macro and infinity distances. The bright f/ 2.8 and circular aperture render a softly diffused bokeh, isolating the subject from its background for stunning portraits. The lens features an internal focusing structure that remains unextended when the focus is changed, and a multilayer coating has been applied to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast. This durable lens is compatible with a wide range of Sony Alpha cameras, making it a versatile choice for photographers.
