Features

  • Features: This 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 of any size
  • 2:1 Magnification: 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). The 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
  • 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 and out-of-focus areas (Longitudinal CA) is controlled to the minimal
  • 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
  • Similar Size as 1:1 Macro Lens: Despite the extended magnification range, the size of our Laowa 100mm is comparable to other macro lenses in the market

  • Great manual lens!
Great manual focus lens. Took a second to get used to it. After that it's pretty fun.

  • 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. ... show more

  • Surprisingly sharp, very glad I bought it.
Bought this to double as a traveling lens with a little reach and a macro. Took it all over Europe, can't believe how great it did as a walk around lens to get a little detail or reach. Paired with the z9 for the focus peaking, it was sharp and distortion free. A little vignetting at the corners if I push dehaze in LR too much, but easily remedied. It does actually focus as close as advertised. I shoot mostly sports and won't carry it all the time, but it's earned a spot in my core line up of lenses. I haven't tried a recent macro from Nikon, Canon, etc, so I don't have anything to compare to, but am thrilled at the quality of what I got for that price. ... show more

  • Great
I love it but except because is manual focus only and some kind of vignette appears with the lense hood, when zoom in (better work without the lense hood)

  • Fantastic macro lens
I bought this and ended up having to return it but it had nothing to do with the quality of the product itself. It is a fully manual macro lens and it works beautifully. Easy to focus and set your aperture, you just need to hold still and take a quick shot while you’ve got your focus set because any movement can set you outside of the focus real fast but that’s just the nature of a manual macro lens. The build quality is excellent and feels very durable. It also comes in very appealing and sturdy packaging. All around a good buy for your Nikon Z system. ... show more

  • Works Perfectly on Nikon Z7
!. Really good optics 2. Easy to get great macro shots 3. Works best on a macro rail due to fiddly focus (to be expected). 4. Solid build

  • Dust inside the lens
Out of the box, the lens has specks of dust on the inside. These showed up as very noticeable spots in the images and viewfinder. For a brand new lens, I expected it to be cleaner and free of such defects. Seems like a good value for this price point. But the specks are not acceptable. Returning it now. ... show more

  • What is there not to like about it?
it's clean, nice build. I'm new but i attach this to a novaflex bellows to get even extra close with this lens.
