Rokinon 100M-C
Delivers 1:1 life-size magnification at a 307mm close-focus distance, using ED and high refractive index elements to control chromatic aberrations. Ultra Multi-Coating and a 9-blade rounded diaphragm produce high contrast and smooth bokeh in close-up shots. Best for macro shooters on Canon EF-mount cameras who require precise manual focus for detail-critical close-up work without autofocus.
