The Laowa 100 mm f/2.8 2× Ultra Macro APO is a standout lens in macro photography, designed for Sony full-frame E-mount systems. This lens lets you achieve greater-than-life-size reproduction (2:1) with a minimum focusing distance of approximately 24.7 cm (9.7") 

Its apochromatic (APO) optical design—enhanced by two dedicated low-dispersion elements—ensures chromatic aberrations and color fringing are minimized, delivering exceptional clarity and accurate color rendition 

. At a bright f/2.8 aperture and with a 13-blade diaphragm for the Sony version, the lens offers mesmerizing bokeh, ideal for artistic macro compositions 

This lens is entirely manual, offering tactile precision through its focusing rings, along with clear focus distance and depth-of-field scales—perfect for creative, controlled shooting 

. Despite its capable optics and build, it remains pocketably compact (72 mm diameter × 155 mm long) and lightweight (around 638–650 g), with a standard 67 mm filter thread for easy accessory use
