Overview

Laowa's 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro lens for Canon RF mount cameras offers unparalleled magnification, covering full-frame sensors from 2:1 to infinity focus. Its compact size matches traditional 100mm macro lenses but doubles the magnification. With 12 elements in 10 groups, including an apochromatic design, it ensures crystal-clear images devoid of chromatic aberration, both in macro and infinity distances.

Features

2:1 Magnification at the same physical size
Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra-Macro is the second 2:1 Macro lens that we have (The first one is the 60mm f/2.8). 100mm is one of the most common focal lengths for macro photography usage. All of the 100mm macro lenses in the market can only reproduce 1:1 magnification (life-size) images only. The extended 2x magnification means more details can be seen through the lens. Photographers can now take advantage of the wider magnification range to capture bugs of different sizes.

Apochromat APO design (invisible CA)
The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 has an Apochromat (APO) design where the chromatic aberration (CA) at BOTH in-focus & out-of-focus areas (Longitudinal CA) is controlled to the minimal. CA has long been one of the most annoying aberrations for macro photography and now you can forget about this and focus more on taking a great shot.

Similar size to a 1:1 macro lens
Despite the extended magnification range, the size of our Laowa 100mm is actually comparable to other macro lenses in the market.

Manual Mount
The Canon RF version of the Laowa 100mm Macro lens has a manual mount and the aperture is controlled by the aperture ring on the lens.

Outstanding Portrait lens with crystal sharpness
Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra Macro APO is not only an exceptionally macro lens. It can also focus to infinity and is a very decent telephoto portrait lens.
