Nice and affordable lens. I love it!

Perfect for pro and non-pro, photo and video projects. Lens price is affordable with great results. I'm using my Canon EOS 6D Mark II and an iPad as an external monitor. As you can see on the iPad the magnification power is great.

Excellent optics

I've ended up owning both the automatic aperture and manual aperture versions of this lens. Both are optically excellent and I'm enjoying the 2:1 capability in a versatile lens that is easy to use. I've been using this lens primarily for plant photographs, ranging from pictures of a whole shrub to handheld focus stacking for very small flowers & other plant parts. Contrary to my expectation, though, I find myself preferring the manual aperture lens. This is primarily because the automatic aperture is not particularly accurate, yielding slightly different exposures in a focus stack. I can work around this, but it's annoying. The manual aperture, on the other hand, turns out to be easier to use than I expected. Figuring out where the focus plane is when the lens is stopped down takes a bit more care and practice if (like me) you're only used to focusing with lenses wide open. I've screwed up a couple of pictures that way, but after a few days with the lens I think I've gotten over the learning curve. I do wish there was a tactile indication of where you are in the f-stop range, though.

Nice and affordable lens. I love it!

By Hector C.

Perfect for pro and non-pro, photo and video projects. Lens price is affordable with great results. I'm using my Canon EOS 6D Mark II and an iPad as an external monitor. As you can see on the iPad the magnification power is great.

Where innovation meets professional photography, the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 Manual Aperture 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Canon EF stands out as a high-quality, reliable, and durable lens designed for both macro and medium telephoto photography. Building on the success of the Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro, this lens is the second in the Laowa 2:1 macro line-up, offering a wider magnification range that allows photographers to capture subjects of varying sizes with exceptional detail.

The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 lens is equipped with an apochromatic (APO) characteristic, ensuring chromatic aberration, a common issue in macro photography, is minimized both in-focus and out-of-focus. This feature enhances the overall image quality, allowing photographers to focus on capturing stunning shots without worrying about color distortion.

Designed to cover a full-frame sensor size, this lens can focus from 2:1 magnification to infinity, providing versatility for a range of photography styles. Despite its extended magnification range, the physical size of the Laowa 100mm lens is comparable to other 100mm Macro lenses in the market, making it a convenient addition to any photography kit.

The Canon EF version of this lens (available as VE10028C) is uniquely equipped with a CPU chip and motor for aperture control via the camera, while all other mounts are manual, with aperture controlled by the aperture ring on the lens.

Beyond its macro capabilities, the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 lens also serves as an outstanding portrait lens. It can focus to infinity, delivering crystal sharp images that make it a valuable tool for portrait photography. With its innovative design and high-quality optics, the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 Manual Aperture 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Canon EF is a testament to Venus' commitment to producing professional, affordable, and reliable lenses for photographers of all levels.
