2:1 Macro Lens for Canon EF

The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 delivers a 2:1 reproduction ratio with a minimum focus distance of 9.72 inches. Its apochromatic design uses 12 elements in 10 groups to minimise chromatic aberration. The 13-blade diaphragm produces smooth circular bokeh. Full-frame coverage allows focus from 2:1 magnification to infinity.

Manual aperture and focus operation

The lens has no electronic contacts, so aperture is set via a physical ring and focus is entirely manual. No autofocus or camera-body aperture control is available. EXIF data will not record lens settings. Users must stop down manually for depth-of-field preview or live-view magnification.

Standard EF mount installation

The Canon EF bayonet fits directly onto any compatible body without adapters. The 100mm focal length keeps the front element clear of most camera grips. The manual aperture ring clicks at full stops, reducing accidental shifts. The lens is not suited to photographers who require autofocus or electronic aperture control.

Questions about this item

Should I choose this 100mm lens over the 60mm 2:1 macro?

The 100mm focal length gives a longer working distance and covers full frame, while the 60mm is built for closer quarters and smaller sensors.

What does the 2:1 reproduction ratio mean when I am shooting?

You can fill the frame with a subject half the size of the sensor, reaching details that standard 1:1 macro lenses cannot.

How does the Canon EF mount affect aperture control and focus range?

The aperture ring is manual on the lens barrel, and the mount communicates focus distance for metering while you turn the focus ring yourself.
