Abbreviations

MC Multi-layer anti-reflection coating is applied to the surfaces of lens elements. This anti-reflection coating increases light transmission, eliminates flare and ghosting, and maintains color consistence among all lens models.
MACRO Macro lens. Designed specially for shooting close-ups of small subjects but can be also used in other genres of photography, not necessarily requiring focusing at close distances. Learn more

Manufacturer description #1

With an aperture range of f/3.5-22, a macro ratio of 1:1 and a minimum focusing distance of 1.4", this lens is designed for high detail macro photography. It’s also flexible enough to be good for portrait photography and is available in all popular SLR camera mounts. Superior optical performance is ensured with 5 elements in 4 groups, and with multi-coated optics to reduce flare and increase light transmission. Filter size is 49mm.

Manufacturer description #2

Whether you are an oral surgeon or just love to take close-ups of flowers, this lens features 1:2 macro without the included adapter and 1:1 with the adapter. It focuses down to an incredible 2.6" from the front of the lens. Filter size is 49mm.

Manufacturer description #3

Macro focusing as close as 1:2. Includes 1:1X adaptor lens - allows focusing as close as 5.2 inches. Minimum focusing distance measured from front of lens. Compact and light weight, measuring only 2.6 inches and weighing only 9.1 ounces. Superior optical performance with 5 elements in 4 groups. Multicoated optics to reduce flare and increase light transmission.

From the editor

The following lenses share the same optical design developed by Cosina:

  • COSINA 100MM 1:3.5 MC MACRO
  • PHOENIX 100mm 1:3.5 MACRO
  • PROMASTER SPECTRUM 7 100MM 1:3.5 MC MACRO
  • RICOH RIKENON P MACRO 1:3.5 100mm
  • MC SOLIGOR MACRO 100MM 1:3.5
  • Vivitar 100mm 1:3.5 MC MACRO

We listed only the most common lenses with this optical design, but there may be others. Most (if not all) of these were most likely produced by Cosina as an ODM (Original Design Manufacturer).

The whole optical system of the lens moves considerably with focusing from infinity to the closest distance. The front element is deeply recessed inside the lens barrel which eliminates the need for a lens hood.

The lens offers magnification ratio of 1:2 at the closest focusing distance. The magnification ratio of 1:1 can be achieved by the means of the “MATCHED MACRO ADAPTOR (1:1)” which once was a part of the package. Focusing at infinity with “MATCHED MACRO ADAPTOR (1:1)” is not possible though.
