Choosing a lens for your DSLR or mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera can be a difficult task, not because there are so few choices, but because there are often so many.
The biggest challenge photographers face when shooting nature close-ups is how to get a sharp image.
If you're interested in the wonders of the underwater world, and taking home images of the amazing reefs and the creatures that inhabit them, follow this advice before you dive in.
Macro photography in a marine environment can be one of the most rewarding photographic activities. Don’t you just love an up-close and personal shot of small and strange creatures found in the ocean?
Discover the exceptional capabilities of the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Leica L, a high-quality, professional-grade lens that 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, making it a reliable choice for macro photographers.
Unlike other 100mm macro lenses on the market that only achieve 1:1 or smaller magnification, this Laowa lens allows you to capture subjects of any size, from larger objects to the smallest bugs, with ease. This wider magnification range makes it one of the most versatile macro lenses available today.
Despite its wide range, Venus Optics has managed to keep the lens compact, similar in size to other 1:1 macro lenses. The Laowa 100mm 2:1 Macro lens also features an apochromatic (APO) characteristic, ensuring chromatic aberration is virtually invisible. This lens delivers exceptional performance in suppressing chromatic aberration, both in the "in-focus" and "out-of-focus" areas, ensuring your images are free from unwanted color fringing.
But the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 is not just a macro lens. When focused to infinity, it also serves as a high-quality portrait lens. Its 12 elements in 10 groups optics design delivers crystal clear sharpness at both macro and infinity distances. The wide f/2.8 aperture and circular aperture design render softly diffused bokeh, beautifully isolating your subject from its background.
The lens also features an internal focusing structure that doesn't extend when focus is changed, and a multilayer coating to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast. Experience the durable, reliable, and innovative design of the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens for Leica L, and elevate your photography to new heights.
