    • Remarkable Macro Lens.

Review Image by Peter c Hutchison jr Peter c Hutchison jr
This lens came highly recommended and it didn't disappoint. This lens has streamlined my camera setup immensely. Before this lens arrived I was using a combination of lens tube extensions and various macro lenses making my camera very awkward to hold at certain angles. The Laowa lens has all the features you could possibly want/need in a manual focus macro lens and it makes the world of macro photography seem more realistic and less daunting to a beginner like myself. ... show more

    • Awesome macro lens
This is the perfect starting point for anyone looking to get into macro photography in the EF mount system. I have this paired with a 80D and the images have been fantastic so far. Since it's 100mm it also doubles as a good portrait lens as well. And is pretty fast at 2.8. Only 'down side' is a lack of any auto focus. So you have to manually keep the lens in focus yourself. It's not hard and learning this skill will only help your photography going forward. No regrets picking this one up. Wish I came across this sooner! ... show more

    • Great lens but...
I am writing this lens after a week of usage. First thing first, It's not cheap lens as being widely stated. It doesn't have IS or AF. I have Canon EF version so I can adjust aperture from my Camera. So at this price what you are getting is not very cheap and there is a tradeoff. This lens is not for everyone. I was using reverse macro technique before buying this lens. However, I don't see quality of the pics improved drastically with the lens. Definitely, this lens is more convenient to use compared to reverse macro. Now coming to Pros and cons: Pros: 1. Strong build 2. Good picture quality(not great) 3. 2X magnification, but you need to be really close to the subject 4. Lens hood and UV filter comes in the box. However, you ever hardly going to use the hood Cons: 1. IS is missing. I really wish they had IS in the lens. I can live without AF but IS is must 2. After f11 I struggled with the quality of the image. Finally big shout out to the Seller Berger-bros. They did fantastic packing and quickly dispatched the product ... show more

    • Are you buying to put on a Sony???
Review Image by D. Moncla D. Moncla
I bought this to put on a Sony A7iii after the team at Laowa told me it would work and I would be able to use the aperature controls plus get exif data written to the file unlike the fully manual version for other cameras. When it arrived it didn't work properly and it would severly over expose shots. The seller was ready to refund me but I contacted Laowa directly who had promissed me it would work. They updated my lens with a new chip as my copy was an older first run firmware. Now it works like a charm. The Sony A7iii aperature controls work perfectly, I no longer get crazy overexposed images and my files all have the exif data written on them. The lens is tack sharp and gong 2x is awesom. I LOVE this lens! (The picture I attached is the first picture I took with it while walking around. I can't wait to get it in studio for some serious macro work) ... show more

    • Best macro lens out there!
Review Image by James F. Kay James F. Kay
This lens is very sharp. It does not have autofocus or image stabilization. The price is very reasonable for the quality. Also note this lens is quite heavy as it is made of metal.

    • My favorite lens in my kit
I mostly shoot macro insects and flowers, with a mix of many other types in there. This lens is a beast in image quality. The biggest downsides to this lens is the need for the UV filter to protect it from dust and dirt, and the weight; though it is very solid feeling. I just upgraded to the EOS R and it works perfectly with the adapter, no crop, and full aperture control. I’m buying the RF 85mm 2x macro next. ... show more

    • Great lens on Canon EOS "T" series and 90d!
We bought this lens originally for my wife who enjoys shooting macro of insects and other small things. But, we found it is also a great lens for portraits! My wife does professional portrait and Boudoir photography and has gotten some amazing shots using this lens in those genres! The ONLY drawback that some may find is the manual focus. But, that just gives you more control as long as you are able to nail the focus! Highly recommended! ... show more

    • Everything It Is Said to Be and More!
This macro lens is really good for the price. Solid build, super sharp images. I have numerous macro glass, and many are expensive and they cannot hold a candle to this lens. This lens also is capable of going to 2:1 ratio. Amazing!
