Optimal picture angle – perfect close-ups The walimex pro 100 mm Macro lens is a classical focal length for portraits and, at the same time, is delivers excellent close-ups.
Used on a APS-C camera, a picture angle of 15.4° is effective, which corresponds with the imaging impression of a 150 mm lens. The highly practice oriented lens speed of 2.8 does not change. It not only provides you with a extremely light view finder, but also with the possibility of cropping due to the shortest focal depth. The lens is very well corrected and convinces with a extremely high and distortionless imaging quality. All lens surfaces are obviously multi-coated, to enhance the contrast of the images and to avoid possible reflections.. All this is rounded off by precision mechanics, distinctly locking aperture values in a high-quality metal socket. Manual focussing is comfortable and easy.
Inner focussing
The lens has been designed with inner focussing. Lens groups are moved inside, the length of the lens does not change, the front socket does not turn when focussing. Graded density and polarizing filters can thus be easily attached (size 67mm).
Optical design
15 lens elements in 12 groups give evidence of the enormous efforts to achieve very powerful and excellent optics. Despite the mean picture angle hardly any imaging faults can be recognized, even with full aperture.
