True 1:1 Macro

Designed for macro photography at a full 1:1 reproduction ratio, this 100mm prime focuses as close as approximately 0.29 m for near life-size detail. It is equally at home as a natural-perspective portrait lens.

Apochromatic Precision

The apochromatic optical design eliminates chromatic aberrations across the entire focus range for clean, color-accurate results. A 17-element, 12-group construction maintains consistently excellent performance from f/2.8 to f/22.

Fast, Controllable Focus

A precise autofocus system includes a focus limiter to speed up focusing within macro or distance ranges, and a 9-blade aperture renders smooth out-of-focus areas. The lens is compatible with the Leica Extender L 1.4x and 2x.

Sealed for Serious Use

The robust all-metal body is dust- and splash-proof to the IP54 standard, and a hydrophobic Aqua-Dura coating on the external glass repels smudges. An E67 filter thread accepts standard filters.
