Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens Canon EF (Auto Aperture) Summary
Designed to get close to the action, the short telephoto Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Auto Aperture Lens for Canon EF offers 2:1 double size macro as close as just 24.7cm. The lens is designed for full frame , but can also be used with APS-C sensor models for 160mm equivalent focal length. Results are excellent with colour fringing and chromatic aberrations all but eliminated, thanks to the apochromatic (APO) design along with the inclusion of low dispersion elements. A 9-bladed aperture provides pleasing smooth out of focus areas, whilst the bright aperture facilitates a shallower depth of field and low light shooting.
