Key Take-Aways:

The Pergear 100mm f/2.8 Full Frame 2X Magnification Ultra Macro Lens is a manual-focus, all-metal full-frame macro lens with 2X maximum magnification, 14 elements in 9 groups, 13 aperture blades, a clickless aperture, a 0.3 m closest focusing distance, a 67 mm filter thread and a weight of about 790 g, and Pergear sells it in L-mount among other mounts at a regular price of $319. As of Oct 2026, three written reviews and four videos are linked. Dustin Abbott calls it "a bit of a mixed bag": he finds the build fairly well made for the price and reasonably sharp at f/2.8, strongest at macro distances, but heavy, somewhat flare prone, with a heavy focus ring and too little focus throw. Aliz Kovacs-Zoldi in Amateur Photographer praises the build quality, good detail for the price and pleasing bokeh, while noting the weight, heavy-turning focus and aperture rings, considerable flare and ghosting without a hood, and no weather sealing, and calls it an ideal option for a limited budget. A. Cemal Ekin and Dennis Goulet at Kept Light, who tested it on an APS-C Canon R7, found the all-metal build solid and the unedited image quality between acceptable and good, with a sweet spot around f/8 to f/11, but found the focus and aperture rings too stiff and the aperture ring without click stops. Micael Widell asks in his video title whether it is a Laowa 100mm at half the price, Christopher Frost asks whether its quality can be any good for a very low price, and Jamie Spensley and Dustin Abbott also review it on video.

Pergear publishes one set of figures for all mounts, so the weight of "about 790 g" and the "15.7*8cm" size (read here as a length of 157 mm and a diameter of 80 mm) are not tied to L-mount. The 21 degree angle of view is Pergear's 20.6 degrees rounded. The price is Pergear's regular price of $319 for the Leica L-Mount selection; the store currently shows it crossed out and on sale at $239.
