100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO lens

The Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO is a manual-focus prime lens built for Sony FE full-frame cameras. It delivers 2:1 maximum magnification, exceeding the standard 1:1 life-size limit of typical macro lenses. An apochromatic optical design minimises chromatic aberration across the frame. The 100mm focal length provides a comfortable working distance for close-up subjects.

Suited to macro specialists; not for autofocus users

Photographers who need greater-than-life-size magnification for insects, flora or fine product detail will benefit from the 2:1 capability and APO correction. The lens also functions as a short telephoto for portrait work with smooth bokeh. Buyers who require autofocus, electronic aperture control or image stabilisation should look elsewhere, as this is a fully manual design without those features.

Covers 2:1 to infinity with APO clarity

The magnification range extends from 2:1 macro reproduction all the way to infinity focus, allowing both extreme close-ups and general shooting. Apochromatic correction keeps colour fringing negligible even at high magnification. At 2:1 the working distance becomes very short, so lighting and subject access can be challenging. Standard 1:1 macro lenses offer more room but cannot match the enlarged reproduction ratio.

Questions about this item

Which camera mount does the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO fit?

The lens is built for Sony FE full-frame mirrorless bodies and will mount directly on any camera with that bayonet.

How does the 100mm focal length compare with the earlier 60mm macro when shooting the same subject?

The longer 100mm focal length gives a greater working distance, so you can stay farther from the subject while still reaching 2:1 magnification.

What should I check to confirm the apochromatic correction is performing as intended?

Shoot a high-contrast edge at 2:1 magnification and inspect the image for coloured fringing; the APO design should keep both in-focus and out-of-focus areas virtually free of chromatic aberration.
