About this product
Where precision and versatility converge, the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO lens for Canon RF mounts stands out as a superior choice for macro and portrait photographers alike.

Whether capturing the intricate details of smaller insects or the subtle textures of flora, this lens ensures that photographers can document their subjects with exceptional clarity and scale.The 100mm focal length is a favored choice among macro photography enthusiasts for its ability to produce a natural perspective and working distance. The Laowa 100mm lens not only meets this popular demand but also offers a compact form factor comparable to other 1:1 macro lenses, despite its extended magnification range.One of the most remarkable features of this lens is its apochromatic (APO) design, which effectively eliminates chromatic aberration across the entire frame. This advanced optical construction ensures that both the in-focus and out-of-focus areas are free from color fringing, resulting in pristine images without any unwanted color artifacts.Beyond its macro capabilities, the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 lens doubles as an exceptional portrait lens when focused at infinity. The sophisticated optics, comprising 12 elements in 10 groups, deliver razor-sharp images at all distances. The fast f/2.8 aperture creates a beautifully soft bokeh that accentuates the subject against a smoothly blurred background, making it ideal for portrait work.The lens features an internal focusing mechanism, which means the lens barrel does not extend during focusing, maintaining the lens's balance and making it easier to manage, especially when shooting up close. Additionally, a multilayer coating is applied to the lens elements to minimize lens flare and ghosting, thereby enhancing image contrast and color fidelity.For photographers using Sony FE cameras with an adapter, it's important to use an electronic adapter to retain aperture control. The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO lens for Canon RF is a testament to Venus Optics' commitment to innovation, offering an unparalleled macro photography experience with the added flexibility of portrait shooting.
