Our Verdict
You’d be forgiven if you’ve never heard of Laowa lenses as they are a relatively new. However with models like this 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO they are making a serious splash in the macro world. The lens delivers beautiful results with a 2:1 magnification for larger than life details of your macro subjects for Fujifilm photographers. The focal length is equivalent to around 100mm (or 97.5mm to be precise) in full frame format, providing ample opportunity to shoot portraits and other subjects too. Getting extremely close to subjects is easy with a 17cm minimum focus distance, which contributes to the overall versatile nature of this lens.
Fujifilm mirrorless cameras are compact and Laowa has ensured this fits well measuring 57mm diameter x 100mm and weighing a very respectable 335g. The complex apochromatic optics include 14 Elements in 10 groups which render sharp details together with particularly pleasing colours. Rounding off the optics is a 9-bladed aperture that produces pleasing bokeh and smooth focus transitions. As a manual-only focus lens, the barrel includes markings to ensure you know precisely where you’re at and pin sharp results can be achieved. They may well be newer to market however the 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro demonstrates Laowa’s prowess at making highly competent and enjoyable to use macro lenses.
