Samyang 100mm F2.8 Macro
This is a full-frame prime lens for Canon EF, covering 100 mm and a maximum aperture of f/2.8. It weighs 720 g. That combination suits macro and portrait photography.
It is a manual focus telephoto macro lens designed for full-frame cameras, available in various mounts such as Sony E, Canon EF, and Nikon F. It offers life-size 1:1 magnification at a minimum focusing distance of 0.30 meters, making it ideal for capturing close-up details of small subjects like flowers and insects. The bright f/2.8 maximum aperture allows for effective low-light shooting and provides control over depth of field. The optical design includes one Extra Low Dispersion element to minimize chromatic aberrations and enhance image clarity. While the lens delivers sharp and detailed images, it lacks weather sealing, so users should exercise caution in adverse conditions.
