## Overview

The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO for Nikon Z is a premium manual-focus macro lens offering an extraordinary 2:1 magnification ratio, doubling the detail capture of typical 1:1 macro lenses. Its apochromatic optics ensure minimal chromatic aberration, delivering crystal-clear images from ultra-close macro to infinity focus, making it equally adept for portrait photography. Designed for Nikon Z mounts, it features a robust build with fluorine coating and weighs 1.8 pounds, catering to advanced photographers seeking precision and versatility in one lens.

## Description

Followed by the success of the Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro, the 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro is the 2nd member of Laowa 2:1 macro line-up. It features an apochromatic (APO) characteristic that chromatic aberration at both ‘in-focus’ & ‘out-of-focus’ is both invisible. This new 100mm lens can cover full frame sensor size and focus from 2:1 magnification to infinity. The lens has a similar physical size to other 100mm Macro lenses in the market but its wider magnification range allows macro photographers to capture subjects at any sizes. This 100mm f/2.8 lens can also focus to infinity and serve as a portrait lens with exceptional optics quality. Only Canon EF version is equipped with a CPU chip and motor for aperture control via the camera. All other mounts are manual and aperture is controlled by the aperture ring on the lens.

Review: Beautiful MANUAL lens for more advanced users - There is NO auto focus on this lens whatsoever. If you've never used a manual lens, buckle up. This'll be quite the learning curve. Once you get the hang of it, it's a ton of fun. I find it pretty tricky to get good shots without a tripod, but this is probably because I pretty much only shoot in f/22 so I can get as much in focus as I can. Since I'm always shooting in either f/11 or f/22 (and because the lens itself is pretty heavy), a lot of the time when I'm shooting handheld I get a lot of camera shake. I wouldn't recommend this lens for beginners, but if you're up for a strictly manual lens I really don't think you can go wrong here. This lens is very well-built. It feels great to use, albeit a bit heavy. I've had a ton of fun using this lens and I intend to have a lot more fun with it in the future. The pictures I've uploaded alongside this review are all shots I've taken with this lens on my Nikon Z5.
Review: Excellent macro lens let down by its weight, it’s heavy. Manual focus only. Good build quality - It’s heavy

## Features

- 2:1 Magnification at 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 length for macro photography usage. All of the 100mm macro lenses in the market can only reproduce 1:1 magnification (life-size) image 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 at different sizes.
- Automatic Aperture (Canon EF) - The Canon version of the Laowa 100mm Macro lens is equipped with an aperture control motor and CPU chip. The aperture can be controlled via the camera body (no aperture control ring on the lens body) and the aperture will close only during shutter release. Photographers no longer need to compose their shots in a dark viewfinder. A focus assistance indicator will also be shown in the camera. EXIF data can also be saved.
- Outstanding Portrait lens with crystal sharpness - Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2:1 Ultra Macro APO is not only a exceptionally macro lens. It can also focus to infinity and is a very decent telephoto portrait lens.
- Outstanding Sharpness
- Smooth Bokeh rendering
