The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E is a short telephoto prime designed for creators who need detailed close-up performance with refined optical control. With up to 2:1 magnification and a minimum focusing distance of 9.7 inches, it can render very small subjects larger than life, making it useful for jewelry, watches, coins, flowers, cosmetics, crafts, insects, and commercial product photography. The 100mm focal length offers a practical working perspective for macro setups while also adapting well to portraits and selective detail studies. Its apochromatic APO design uses two low dispersion elements to help reduce chromatic aberration and color fringing, preserving cleaner edges and more accurate rendering across the focusing range. Manual focus operation, along with focus distance and depth of field scales, supports careful control when precision matters most. A 13-blade diaphragm helps produce smooth out of focus backgrounds, giving Sony E photographers a versatile lens for close-up stills, product imagery, and portrait work with clarity and pleasing separation.Manufacturer Included Items:Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony EFront Lens CapRear Lens CapLens Hood67mm Clear FilterBundle Items Include:Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E Full Frame Manual Focus Close-Up Lens for Detail Product Portrait WorkLens Filter KitFlexible TripodCleaning KitLens PouchCap Keeper
