![]() The minimum focusing distance is slightly better than Sony and Canon, and better than Nikon by a whopping 16cm. The first two I have used for years and taken thousand of images with, but I have no experience with the Nikon and am going on spec only. These are the Sony FE 90mm Macro G OSS, the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro IS USM, and the Nikon Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8. Laowa has done its best to remedy that with multiple 2x (2:1) magnification lenses, and one that goes all the way up to 5x! Nevertheless, I'll be comparing this lens to the more common macro lenses of the same or similar focal length to begin with. "Extreme" macro lenses with magnification of more than 1:1 are usually rare, specialist, and expensive. The primary issue with that is - and it's worth keeping this in mind the whole way through - it's the only 100mm 2:1 lens on the market. To make real sense of these figures, I need to compare it with other, similar macro lenses. The SpecĪperture Blades: 9 (Canon), 7 (Nikon), 13 (Sony FE)ĭimension: Ф72 x 125 mm (Sony version: Ф72 x 155 mm) It's going to be a tough fight to topple that. I'd settled with 90mm to 100mm primes and have used a number of different brands, and currently, my workhorse is the Sony 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS. I do macro photography for fun, but also on a commercial basis for jewelry brands (mostly watches). However, given the lens required the light of a thousand suns to get the shot, it was never going to be viable for me. Laowa macro lenses were made particularly famous with their bizarre probe lens that went viral for being able to capture some incredible footage. As a result, I was interested in Laowa's newest lens being that it's not only macro, but it's 2:1 (up to 2x magnification). Something about seeing the intricacies and details of the world that the human eye misses captivates me. ![]() I originally got into photography to shoot macro.
