The Samyang 100mm F2.8 ED UMC MACRO lens is the latest addition from Samyang Optics. Full-frame compatible, the Samyang 100mm is a true macro lens offering a 1:1 reproduction ratio for creative macro photography and stunning close-ups. With vivid colour reproduction and a soft background blur (bokeh), it is an ideal lens for close-up images of flowers and insects, for capturing bust portraits, or for general medium-distance work.


This lens comprises 15 optical elements arranged in 12 groups, including a high refractive index (HR) lens element and an extra-low dispersion (ED) lens element to minimise chromatic aberration and other artefacts in order to achieve maximum resolution and image quality across the entire frame. Samyang Optics' Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) treatment is used to optimise light transmission and minimise reflections and ghosting. It allows close focusing down to 0.307 m.


Samyang Optics' Ultra Multi Coating (UMC) technology minimises reflections and ghosting as much as possible to produce a neutral colour balance. The maximum close-up magnification is 1:1, but it can also be used as a 100mm telephoto lens for various applications such as landscapes and portraits.


The 9 aperture blades offer a beautifully natural bokeh even when stopping down the aperture. The lens mount is compact and robust, constructed from high-strength aluminium alloy. The Samyang 100 macro lens is fitted with a removable/detachable lens hood to minimise reflections and ghosting.
