Venus - Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Nikon F

Enhance your photography experience with the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO lens. Building on the success of the Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro, this lens is the second addition to the Laowa 2:1 macro line-up. This innovative lens is designed to cover a full-frame sensor and offers a focus range from 2:1 magnification to infinity. The 100mm focal length is a preferred choice for macro photographers, and this lens stands out in the market by offering a 2:1 magnification, surpassing the standard 1:1 magnification found in most 100mm macro lenses. This wider magnification range allows photographers to capture subjects of varying sizes, making it an incredibly versatile tool for macro photography. Despite its extended range, Venus Optics has expertly designed this lens to be compact, comparable in size to other 1:1 macro lenses. The Laowa 100mm 2:1 Macro lens also boasts an apochromatic (APO) characteristic, ensuring chromatic aberration is virtually undetectable. Chromatic aberration, a common issue in lens design, can often compromise image quality. However, this lens delivers superior performance in suppressing chromatic aberration, both in the "in-focus" and "out-of-focus" areas, ensuring your subject remains free of unwanted color fringing.Beyond its macro capabilities, the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 also serves as an excellent portrait lens when focused to infinity. Its 12 elements in 10 groups optics design ensures crystal clear image sharpness at both macro and infinity distances. The bright f/2.8 aperture and circular design render a softly diffused bokeh, beautifully isolating the subject from its background. The lens features an internal focusing structure that remains static when the focus is adjusted, and a multilayer coating has been applied to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast. This lens is a testament to Venus Optics' commitment to delivering high-quality, professional, and innovative photography equipment.
