Pros: Excellent realization, it makes you want to take macro photos while walking or stopping to catch the insect. Creative possibilities with the spherical aberration shift ring of the lenses. Reproduction factor 1:4 and it is not a small thing, perhaps unique compared to contemporary competitors.

Cons: The bracket for the tripod is missing, the red dot on the caps would not have sent the company into bankruptcy. High price at the moment.

Opinion: Very fun to use, sharpness and features in line with the best. I find it very versed not only for macros. It is not made for macro superspecialists, but it also comes close to their needs even without slides and manual focus supe precise Leica 100 apo macro style. Adjusting the spherical aberration brings you closer to the Trioplan effect, but loses sharpness that cannot be recovered even by acting on manual focus. A real shame!

Pros: Sharpness, stabilization, weight, footprint

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: I had sigma 105 f2.8 and 180 f3.5, I tried the laowa 100 2x as well. With Canon it's a different story, and I would never go back. These RF optics make it a pleasure to shoot even with challenging focal lengths like this. Comfortable, the right size, balanced weight, the dials positioned exactly where they need to be to touch them at the right time, fluid, precise to the millimeter (as befits a macro), being stabilized I pushed myself to shoot handheld at shutter speeds of a 1/20-15 without too many problems (really superb, considering that it is a macro and getting sharp photos with slow shutter speeds is difficult). Pretty fast autofocus, but it depends a lot if you use it often or not (in macros, except in cases of particularly fast insects, I prefer the manual). The SA ring is an interesting addition: for those who don't know, it allows you to "move closer" or "farther away" the subject by changing the bokeh of the background, an effect that can be useful and very creative. Those who, like me, are passionate about macro and have a Canon mirrorless I highly recommend investing the money to buy it because the fun is guaranteed.

Pros: Sharpness,,l series,macro and af fabulous innovative function SA,,AF SPEED

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I had the homologation ef, passed to the r system I also switched to the 85 f 2 macro great for portraits but unusable in macro . This 100 is even 1.4 × and exploits a fabulous Af and not the atmosphere of the 85 not suitable for the macro. Of course there is the doppip but it is money well spent. I'll put it to the whip but for now I love it, I'll try it even in the studio

Pros: Sharp, 1.4x magnification, stabilized

Cons: at the moment none

Opinion: I went from ef 180mm macro 3.5 to this. Surely the weight and size have slimmed down a lot. I like the fact that you can zoom in at 1.4x although at 100mm very close with animals or insects is difficult. While photographing a spider on a plant, the spider often jumped on my lens. With the 180 it didn't happen because you were more distant. In any case, the sharpness is excellent, it is not easy to work with a large magnification because you have very little focus but this is a challenge that I have to overcome. I tried to use the blur control but honestly I don't find much usefulness. You leave in the middle and stop.

Pros: Excellent stabilizer, excellent sharpness from F4 upwards, nice mechanism of blur management, 1X4 magnification, good tropicalization

Cons: under F 4 loses sharpness, weight.

Opinion: I come from the old 100 macro USM, a war lens that gave me so much satisfaction and also a prize, the new 100 macro RF is very sharp and has excellent management of spherical aberration, the stabilizer is silent and very good. A small flaw on the weight but nothing so worrying, I was surprised instead by the loss of sharpness to F2.8 or F3.2 ....... it is not so striking is clear but comparing the photos certainly makes better to F4. Definitely a great lens that does not regret the change with the old 100 macro.
