Samyang's manual-focus 100mm macro for Sony FE — true 1:1 magnification with quality optics at budget price.
The Samyang 100mm f/2.8 ED UMC Macro is a manual-focus true 1:1 macro lens for Sony FE mount among others. It provides full-frame macro capability at a fraction of the cost of Sony or Sigma AF macro lenses — targeting budget-conscious macro enthusiasts.
Optically good — sharp at macro distances with well-controlled chromatic aberration from ED glass. UMC (Ultra Multi Coating) reduces flare. The 100mm focal length provides comfortable working distance at 1:1. Manual focus with smooth damped ring — appropriate for macro work where MF is common.
Sony FE mount with 67mm filter thread. Approximately 720g. No electronic contacts — fully manual with no EXIF data. Full-frame coverage. Minimum focus distance approximately 30cm at 1:1. All-metal construction.
Available used at budget prices. Manual focus only with no electronics — no EXIF data or AF. For macro photography, manual focus is often preferred anyway. The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Art DN and Sony 90mm f/2.8 G offer AF at higher prices. Outstanding value for dedicated macro work.
