Overview:
The Samyang 100mm F2.8 ED UMC Macro is a high-performance manual focus lens designed for Sony full-frame E-mount cameras, including the popular Sony α7 series. With a true 1:1 magnification ratio, it captures subjects at actual life-size on the sensor, making it ideal for macro photography of flowers, insects, textures, and small objects.
Macro Meets Multipurpose:
While it's a specialist macro lens, the 100mm focal length and sharp optical performance also make this an excellent medium-telephoto option for landscapes, product photography, and portraiture. The wide f/2.8 aperture delivers a shallow depth of field with beautifully soft background blur (bokeh), ideal for isolating subjects and creating artistic compositions.
Refined Optical Design:
The lens features a sophisticated optical construction with 15 elements in 12 groups, including Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass to minimize chromatic aberration. Samyang’s Ultra Multi-Coating (UMC) is applied to reduce flare and ghosting, ensuring vivid color reproduction and high contrast even in backlit conditions.
Precision Focus & Build Quality:
The lens is equipped with a smooth, well-damped focus ring, allowing for the fine control necessary in macro photography. Its durable construction ensures reliable performance in various shooting environments, whether in the studio or outdoors.
