Rokinon 100mm f/2.8 Macro Reviews
What No One Mentions . . .
I’m not a macro photographer, but I was hoping to have the ability to take macro shots without having to pay for an expensive lens. This all-manual lens from Rokinon fit the bill. While I cannot claim to have done extensive pixel peeping, it seems sharp. The focusing wheel is nicely damped, so it is relatively easy to focus sharply. What no one seems to be mentioning is that the all-manual nature of this lens and its physical makeup allows it to work with Sony’s teleconverters. Third-party lenses using Sony’s E-mount that rely on the the camera to move the focusing gears cannot do this, but this lens is without any electronic contacts or reliance upon the camera body, so teleconverters work very nicely to increase the magnification.
Awesome Macro!
Purchased this lens looking for a more affordable option to do macro photography. It takes amazing photos. It is a little dense, but it is a rather decently sized lens. My biggest issue with it though is the lack of AF compatibility, but that does come at the cost of affordability. Learning how to manually adjust such a minute focus is quite a lot to handle while managing framing as well as keeping steady. Definitely recommend a tripod if you have certain shots in mind. Though it is f2.8, it is more than enough for how fine of detail and close you can get with this lens. Definitely an awesome lens for my kit!
