Samyang 100mm F2.8 UMC II Macro Lens For Nikon AE Full Frame (Black)

The Samyang 100mm F2.8 UMC II Macro Lens is a manual focus prime lens designed for Nikon F-mount full-frame cameras. This optical tool provides a 1:1 reproduction ratio, allowing photographers to capture life-sized images of small subjects with high clarity. Key technical specifications include a minimum focusing distance of 30 centimetres, a weight of approximately 720 grams, and an optical construction featuring 15 elements in 12 groups, including one high-refractive and one extra-low dispersion element. The lens features an AE chip, which enables communication with Nikon camera bodies to support focus confirmation and exposure metering modes. It is primarily used for macro photography, such as capturing insects, flowers, and intricate textures, while its 100mm focal length also makes it a suitable option for portraiture. The UMC (Ultra Multi Coating) reduces flare and ghosting for improved contrast in varied lighting conditions. This lens is available through Australian retailers as a standard Nikon-compatible manual focus variant.
