100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO overview

The Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO is a 100mm f/2.8 prime for full-frame cameras on Canon EF / EF-S, Canon RF, Nikon F, Nikon Z, Sony E-mount, Pentax K and L-Mount, announced by Laowa in May 2019. 150 cameras we track take it without an adapter.

Going by its spec sheet, it suits portraits and macro. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust as well as fast-moving subjects.

New, it sells for A$816.75 to A$939 at the 2 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$726 to A$817 new.

Worth comparing it with the Laowa 90mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO, Zeiss Loxia 2.4/85 and Tokina atx-i 100mm F2.8 FF Macro.
