LAOWA 105mm F/2 STF

LAOWA 105mm f/2 Smooth Trans Focus (STF) — The Bokeh Dreamer with Ultra-sharp image and Silky smooth Bokeh. Featuring a unique STF (Smooth Trans Focus) optical design, this award-winning lens incorporates an Apodization (APD) element next to the aperture which resembles the function of an ND filter. It gradually reduces the amount of light transmission towards the edges to produce a soft, natural and beautifully diffused out-of-focus rendition. The chromatic aberration has also been extremely well controlled. Get yours from Parallel Imported today!

Features:

Smooth Trans Focus
The LAOWA 105mm f/2 Smooth Trans Focus Lens incorporates a unique optical design with an Apodization (APD) element next to the aperture. The APD element resembles the function of an ND filter which becomes thicker towards the outer edge, gradually reducing the amount of light transmission towards the periphery to produce a soft, natural and beautifully diffused out-of-focus rendition (or called “bokeh”).

Dual Aperture Ring
The unique design of the LAOWA 105mm f/2 Smooth Trans Focus Lens incorporates two separate diaphragms. The stepless 14-bladed perfectly circular aperture, in conjunction with the apodization element, gives this lens the ability to produce smooth and pleasing bokeh. It is also useful for videographers to control the amount of light passing through the lens. The 8-bladed aperture determines the effective aperture opening (f-number) and the depth-of-field.

Superb Optical Quality
The lens has 11 elements in 8 groups with one High Refractive element, three Low Dispersion elements and one Apodization element. This optical design is proven to deliver images with extreme sharpness and well controlled chromatic aberrations. The barrel of the lens is made of metal to strengthen its durability.

Bokeh & Chromatic Aberration
Compared to 100mm f/2 DC by other manufacturers, this is the best Bokeh lens on the market. The APD element allows the LAOWA 105mm f/2 STF to have a softly diffused edge on the bokeh.
