About this deal

However, there are two meaningful issues with the Laowa that prevent me from recommending it wholeheartedly. The first is that it has the worst working distance of the lenses I’ve tested here: just 10 centimeters / 3.9 inches at 1:1 magnification. The second is that it’s a completely manual lens that doesn’t even have a CPU chip for recording EXIF data (aside from the Canon EF version of the lens). It also doesn’t autofocus or allow you to change aperture via the camera itself – only the lens’s aperture ring. As a result, you’ll have a darker viewfinder when stopping down your aperture on the Laowa, unlike any of the other lenses here. If You have a right to recover against another party for anything We have paid under this Service Contract, Your must then call the Administrator during the next available regular business hours, or as soon as reasonably coverage during the coverage period. This service includes 18-point Digital SLR Maintenance Service In short, the TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 2x Macro Tilt-Shift can be an affordable lens that offers a great feature set and impressive price compared to most macro options. It also delivers some value as a standalone 100mm lens, with good bokeh and an f/2.8 aperture letting it serve as a nice short tele – if you don’t mind the manual operations, slightly weaker sharpness, and flare tendencies. Overall, I think the lens is a very compelling option for a surprisingly wide range of photographers, and it definitely succeeds at what it was intended to do.

The lens is strangely challenging to mount and dismount from your camera considering the large focus ring, aperture ring, and tilt-shift knobs. Add that to the highly dampened focusing ring, and I wouldn’t consider this lens seamless to use, ergonomically. I’d put it like this – you need to operate the lens deliberately, especially if you’re going to use the tilt or shift options.

The CANCELLATION Compared to other macro lenses, even third-party options, this lens is very competitive based on price. It is, however, a fully-manual lens, so you’ll need to get comfortable with focusing manually and setting the aperture via the ring on the lens. You’ll also want to understand the “bellows factor” effect, where the effective aperture of a lens narrows as you focus more closely. Working that close to your subject results in a shallow depth of field, which is not uncommon in macro photography. As you will see in the sample photos, you can get the face of a watch in focus, like the one above, so long as it is almost parallel to the lens. A little tilt results in some parts of the watch face rendering out of focus.

It’s still plenty for typical macro subjects (when you wouldn’t be at f/2.8 anyway most of the time anyway), but for photography at a distance, I would lean toward other lenses unless you definitely need the tilt-shift functionality.

Observations and Suggestions

Of these six, the Tamron, Irix, Laowa, and Sigma are all exceptionally sharp. The Nikon is a slight step down, and the Tokina is a further step down. However, considering how extreme these crops are, none of them look bad to me. Designed from the ground up for full-frame mirrorless cameras, this lens is available in Sony E and L mounts. Cosmetically it resembles the firm’s 70mm f/2.8 Art DSLR lens, but with an aperture ring added. A large, complex focus group moves internally to give 1:1 magnification at its 29.5cm minimum focus distance. According to Sigma, this sacrifices some AF speed to deliver both high sharpness and effective suppression of colour fringing, which is borne out by the superb image quality we found in our full review and testing. There’s no optical stabilisation, but most of the cameras the lens will be used on feature in-body stabilisation anyway. A REPAIR AUTHORIZATION NUMBER.
