Venus Laowa 100mm f/2.8 Manual Aperture 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Pentax K, Bundle with ProOptic 67mm Filter Kit, Cleaning Kit, Lens Cap Tether

If you're a macro photography enthusiast or a professional looking for a high-quality, versatile lens, the Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 Manual Aperture 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Pentax K is an innovative choice that stands out in the market. Building on the success of the Laowa 60mm f/ 2.8 2:1 Macro, this lens is the second offering in Laowa's esteemed 2:1 macro lineup, providing an advanced solution for capturing the minutest details with precision. The Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 lens boasts an apochromatic (APO) design, ensuring that chromatic aberration is virtually invisible at both 'in-focus' and 'out-of-focus' areas, delivering images with exceptional clarity and color fidelity.

This feature is particularly beneficial for macro photography, where even the slightest color fringing can detract from the impact of a detailed shot. Designed to cover a full-frame sensor, this durable lens offers a magnification range from 2:1 to infinity, surpassing the standard 1:1 life-size reproduction offered by most macro lenses. This extended magnification allows for greater creative flexibility, enabling photographers to capture a diverse array of subjects, from the tiniest insects to more substantial objects, all with the same lens. Despite its wider magnification range, the Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 maintains a similar physical size to other macro lenses in the market, ensuring it remains a convenient and portable option for photographers on the go.

Its manual focus and aperture control via the lens ring cater to those who prefer the tactile precision of manual adjustments. Moreover, this lens is not limited to macro photography alone. With the ability to focus to infinity, it doubles as an exceptional portrait lens, offering crystal-clear sharpness and a pleasing bokeh effect, thanks to its f/ 2.8 maximum aperture. This makes it a versatile addition to any Pentax K-mount camera user's arsenal, compatible with models such as the K-01, K-2000, K-3, K-3 II, K-30, K-5 IIs, K-50, K-500, K-7, K-70, K-S1, K-S2, and KP.

This bundle enhances the value of the Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 lens by including a ProOptic 67mm filter kit, which can help protect the lens and alter images for creative effects, a cleaning kit to keep the lens in pristine condition, and a lens cap tether to secure the lens cap and prevent loss during shoots. In summary, the Laowa 100mm f/ 2.8 Manual Aperture 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Pentax K, bundled with essential accessories, is a compelling choice for photographers seeking an advanced, high-quality lens that offers both exceptional macro capabilities and excellent performance for portrait photography.
