Venus Optics will release Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for Nikon Z-mount in July

By [NR] admin | Published: June 11, 2019

Update: Venus Optics contacted me and denied any future plans of making a Z-mount version of this lens. The eBay listing is either fraud or a manually modified lens with a Nikon Z-mount:

“We have no plans to make it into Nikon Z mount. And the eBay store you posted is NOT our authorized reseller either. We will NOT provide any warranty to lenses purchased there. I have no ideas why he listed Nikon Z mount while we have no plans in making.”

I received a confirmation that Venus Optics will release the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO lens for Nikon Z-mount at the beginning of July. The Z version of the lens is already listed for sale on eBay:

You can check the technical specifications and pricing of the Laowa 100mm f/2.8 lens at Adorama, B&H and on the official website of Venus Optics. Sample photos can be found here and here:
