Why settle for less when you can have more with the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra-Macro APO lens? Building on the success of the Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro, this lens is the second addition to the Laowa 2:1 macro line-up. It\'s designed to cover a full-frame sensor and offers a focus range from 2:1 magnification to infinity. The 100mm focal length is a favorite among macro photographers, but most 100mm macro lenses on the market only reach a 1:1 (life-size) or smaller magnification. This can make capturing smaller subjects a challenge. The Laowa 100mm 2:1 Macro lens, however, offers a wider magnification range, allowing photographers to capture subjects of any size, making it one of the most versatile macro lenses available. Despite its wider range, Venus Optics has managed to keep the lens size minimal, comparable to other 1:1 macro lenses. This lens also features an apochromatic (APO) characteristic, ensuring chromatic aberration is virtually invisible. Chromatic aberration can often ruin a perfect image, but this lens delivers exceptional performance in suppressing chromatic aberration, both in the "in-focus" area and the "out-of-focus" area, ensuring your subject won\'t be marred by unwanted color fringing. But the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 isn\'t just an exceptional macro lens. It also serves as a high-quality portrait lens when focused to infinity. The lens\'s 12 elements in 10 groups optics design ensures crystal sharpness at both macro and infinity distances. The bright f/2.8 and circular aperture create a softly diffused bokeh, beautifully isolating your subject from its background. The lens features an internal focusing structure that doesn\'t extend when the focus is changed. A multilayer coating has been applied to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast. The Canon version of the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro lens is integrated with a CPU chip and aperture motor, allowing photographers to control the aperture and exposure through the camera itself and record the EXIF data into the photos. A focus indicator is also shown in the camera to assist focus. This feature benefits macro photographers when composing at smaller f-stops, as the aperture will only close when the shutter is released, making the viewfinder much brighter. This bundle also includes a Hoya 67mm Filter Kit II, a Laowa Tripod Collar, Lens Cleaner, Cleaning Kit, and Cleaning Cloth, providing you with everything you need to capture stunning images.
