Overview

The Venus Laowa 100mm F2.8 Macro offers exceptional sharpness and apochromatic correction, virtually eliminating chromatic aberration. Its unique 2:1 magnification exceeds standard 1:1 macro lenses. Build is all-metal and durable, but the lens is fully manual with no autofocus or stabilization. The focus ring has very short throw, making precise focusing at non-macro distances tricky. It suits macro enthusiasts seeking extreme magnification and image quality, especially on mirrorless bodies where focus aids are effective.
