Venus Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO

Pros: Picture quality, sharpness, colors, background effects, reproduction scale 2:1, manual lens on Pentax systems

Cons: Focus ring could be more precise.

Opinion: Bought it recently for Pentax camera and I'm amazed how good picture quality this lens gives. Sharpness is top level, the same with colors which are natural and properly saturated. I like the fact that on Pentax it works only in manual mode, no auto-focus, you need to operate the focus ring with your own skills. The reproduction scale is amazing, with this lens you can take photos of very small objects without adding anything else, like extension tubes or Raynox-like additional lenses. It gives the huge scale out of the box which is exactly what i needed. I use this lens for insects macro photography and it totally fills my expectations how such lens should look like.
