AstrHori Macro Lens

No, this is a fully manual focus lens. It is designed for photographers who prefer the tactile control and precision required for critical macro work, where manual focus is often more reliable than autofocus systems.

A 2x magnification ratio means the lens projects an image onto your camera sensor that is twice the size of the actual subject. This allows you to capture extreme detail in tiny subjects, like insect eyes or intricate textures, that standard lenses cannot resolve.

The 120mm focal length is excellent for macro photography because it provides a comfortable working distance, meaning you don't have to get the lens right up against your subject. However, because it is a manual focus lens weighing 930 grams, using a tripod is highly recommended for the sharpest results.

Absolutely. The 120mm focal length is a classic choice for portraiture, offering flattering compression of facial features. Combined with the bright f/2.8 aperture, it produces a soft, pleasing background blur that effectively isolates your subject.

Yes, this lens is compatible with crop-sensor cameras, though the effective focal length will be longer due to the crop factor. It is designed as a full-frame lens, so it will cover the sensor area of both full-frame and APS-C bodies without issue.

This lens features a 72mm filter thread diameter. You can use standard 72mm circular filters, such as polarizers or neutral density filters, to manage light and reflections.
