About Venus 100mm f/2.8

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.

Venus 100mm f/2.8 Features

  • 2:1 Magnification at same physical size - All of the 100mm macro lenses in the market can only reproduce 1:1 magnification (life-size) image only. The extended 2x magnification means more details ca n be seen through the lens. Photographers can now take advantage of the wider magnification range to capture bugs at different sizes
  • Apochromat APO design (invisible CA)- The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 has a Apochromat (APO) design where the chromatic aberration (CA) at BOTH in-focus & out-of-focus area is controlled to the minimal. CA has long been one of the most annoying aberrations for macro photography and now you can forget about this and focus more on taking a great shot
  • Similar size as 1:1 macro lens - Despite the extended magnification range, the size of our Laowa 100mm is actually comparable to other macro lenses in the market
  • Outstanding Sharpness
  • Smooth Bokeh rendering
  • Outstanding Portrait lens with crystal sharpness - Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra Macro APO is not only a exceptionally macro lens. It can also focus to infinity and is a very decent telephoto portrait lens
