A 100mm f/2.8 macro lens for Canon RF delivering 2:1 magnification and apochromatic correction, bundled with a 67mm filter kit, cleaning kit and lens cap tether

  • APO design removes chromatic aberration for sharp, colour-accurate images
  • 2:1 magnification captures extreme close-ups beyond life-size detail
  • 100mm focal length gives comfortable working distance for macro and portraits
  • f/2.8 aperture enables low-light shooting and shallow depth of field
  • Bundle adds 67mm filter kit, cleaning kit and lens cap tether

100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Lens

The Venus Optics Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO lens is built for Canon RF mirrorless cameras. It delivers 2:1 magnification for extreme close-up detail beyond life-size reproduction. The apochromatic design removes chromatic aberration for high-contrast, colour-accurate results. This new lens suits macro specialists, scientific imaging and portrait photographers alike.

Manual focus with internal focusing design

The lens uses a manual focus mechanism with internal focusing so the barrel does not extend during operation. This keeps the working distance consistent and helps avoid disturbing live subjects at high magnification. The 100mm focal length provides comfortable space between camera and subject. A 67mm filter thread accepts the included filter kit without vignetting issues.

2:1 magnification on full-frame sensors

This optic achieves 2:1 magnification while covering a full-frame image circle, a capability most 100mm macro lenses do not offer. Standard macro lenses typically stop at 1:1 reproduction, limiting detail capture on smaller subjects. The extended range lets you photograph tiny insects, textures and structures at twice life size. Buyers needing autofocus or magnification beyond 2:1 should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 100mm f/2.8 lens on my Canon RF camera, and what step is often missed?

Align the red dot on the lens barrel with the red dot on the RF mount, then twist clockwise until it locks with a click; the step often missed is removing both the rear lens cap and the camera body cap before attempting to mount.

What maintenance will the 100mm f/2.8 APO lens need over time?

Clean the front and rear glass elements using the included cleaning kit and 67mm UV filter to protect coatings; check the aperture blades for oil on the blades periodically and store the lens in its pouch with caps on to prevent dust ingress.

At what magnification does the 100mm f/2.8 lens show its optical limit during extended macro sessions?

At the maximum 2:1 magnification the depth of field becomes extremely thin, making precise focus the practical limit; stopping down from f/2.8 increases depth but adds diffraction softness, so the usable aperture range narrows significantly at 2X.
