The Laowa 100mm f2.8 Macro lens is a high-quality 2:1 magnification macro lens, which means this lens offers double the magnification of most close-up friendly lenses on the market. The lens is similar in size to other 100mm macro lenses, despite this increased magnification, while it features a high-quality optical design, with an APO characteristic included for reduced chromatic aberration. This Laowa lens is full-frame compatible, and as well as macro images, it is excellent for portrait photographs.

The Laowa 100mm f2.8 Macro lens is manual focus only, which gives users the opportunity to pinpoint the focus of their macro images. The f2.8 maximum Aperture provides excellent depth of field control, meaning plenty of bokeh capture is possible.
