Incredible Macro Lens

The Laowa 100mm 2.8 lens is a must-have for any photographer interested in macro photography. The ultra sharp images produced by this lens are absolutely stunning. The build quality is impressive, and the lens is easy to use. The only downside is that it's a bit heavy and bulky, making it less portable than other macro lenses. Overall, this is an exceptional addition to any photographer's electronics arsenal.

Pros
  • Produces stunning macro photos with incredible detail.
Cons
  • Difficult to master for beginners and may require additional equipment for optimal results.

Good quality, very short focus

I returned this lens, the image quality and finish was very good but the focus path was me too short. I only shoot macro occasionally and enjoy the feel of some of my vintage lenses more. While they can't do a 2:1, I underestimated how much light a 2:1 would need in most scenarios and didn't want to invest extra at this point. If you already have a decent macro setup then the short focus can be overcome with physical exercise and I think this is a great lens.

Pros
  • CONSTRUCTION: Has an apochromatic (APO) characteristic which makes both in-focus and out-of-focus chromatic aberrations invisible
Cons
  • There are imperfections

Super Macro Portrait Landscape Animal!

Absolutely amazing lens! Super sharp, great feel, nice aesthetic and balance. The only thing that could have been improved was a longer focus ring travel for a bit more control, but that wasn't really a problem. With the ability to go from a 2x macro shot of a bee to a sharp landscape shot of a lighthouse and then turn around and capture a beautiful creamy bokeh portrait, this is my new favorite lens and will likely stay in camera for quite some time. for some time

Pros
  • FOCUS: This 100mm lens can cover the size of a full-frame sensor and focus from a magnification of 2:1 to infinity. This 100mm f/2.8 lens can also focus to infinity and serve as a portrait lens with exceptional optical quality
Cons
