Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO (Manual Aperture)

A fully manual Canon EF version of Laowa's 100mm 2:1 apochromatic macro: no electronic contacts, with a clickless aperture ring on the lens instead, which makes it the version to pick for adapted use on mirrorless bodies or for silent aperture changes on video. Twice life-size at 24.7cm; manual focus.

📝 How suitability scores are calculated GearScore™ genre scores are calculated from this camera's verified specifications — autofocus, sensor, weight, weather sealing and more — weighted by what matters for each type of photography. Where a spec sheet misses something (e.g. a manual-focus rangefinder for street), we apply a documented editorial adjustment. Scores are not based on customer reviews. See our full methodology →
