Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2 macro Lens, Metal Lens Hood, Protective Caps

Please note that this is a manual focus lens.

The Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2 macro lens is an extremely fast, short telephoto macro lens that can capture even the smallest details with maximum precision. The lens features a completely new optical design which incorporates floating lens elements to ensure distortion-free, maximum imaging performance throughout the focusing range.

This lens is well-suited for macro photography and is also a superb portrait lens. The extremely wide and smooth focusing rotation provides superior control as well as making this lens great for videography. With the fast f/2.0 aperture, the Makro-Planar T* 100mm can create a short depth of field to draw attention to the subject.

When mounted on a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens has an effective focal length of 150mm.
