The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro Apo lens, a successor to the highly successful Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro, is a professional-grade lens designed to cater to the specific needs of macro photographers. This innovative lens boasts a full-frame sensor coverage and a versatile focus range from 2:1 magnification to infinity. Unlike conventional 100mm macro lenses that only achieve 1:1 or smaller magnification, the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro lens offers a wider magnification range, making it an ideal choice for capturing smaller subjects, often a challenge in macro photography. This feature enhances its versatility, making it a standout choice among macro lenses in the market. Despite its extended range, Venus Optics has expertly designed this lens to maintain a compact size, similar to other 1:1 macro lenses, making it a convenient and portable option for photographers.
