Laowa 65mm T2.9 2X Macro APO Cine Lens – 2:1 Macro Magnification for APS-C Mirrorless (Fuji X)

The Laowa 65mm T2.9 2X Macro APO Cine Lens is a cinema-grade macro lens made for APS-C mirrorless cameras, available in the Fuji X mount. It delivers a 2:1 magnification ratio that lets filmmakers capture extremely close-up shots with twice life-size detail. Use it when you need precise, high-detail imagery for product videography, commercials, documentaries, or other creative storytelling.

Optical performance and image quality

The lens uses an apochromatic (APO) optical formula to minimize chromatic aberration and preserve accurate colors across the focusing range. Additionally, its advanced optical construction comprises 14 elements in 10 groups, including three extra-low dispersion elements to further control color fringing and maintain clarity.

With a bright T2.9 aperture and a 9-blade diaphragm, the lens provides strong low-light capability and pleasing cinematic bokeh. These features help you control depth of field and isolate subjects in macro scenes while maintaining natural color rendition.

Cinema-oriented design and handling

Laowa built this lens with cinema workflows in mind. It features standard 0.8 mod geared focus and aperture rings, enabling smooth, precise control and easy integration with follow-focus systems and professional rigs. The geared rings support consistent, repeatable adjustments that filmmakers rely on in production environments.

Furthermore, the lens has a robust metal construction designed for professional use. This durable build helps ensure reliable performance during demanding shoots and frequent handling on set.

Macro capabilities and focusing

At a 2:1 magnification ratio, the lens captures extreme close-up detail useful for intricate subjects. The minimum focus distance of 17 cm allows you to position the camera very close to the subject to reveal fine textures and small-scale details important in product shots and macro storytelling.

• Filmmakers and videographers shooting product videography who need high magnification and detail.
• Commercial productions that require controlled depth of field and accurate color rendition in close-ups.
• Documentary makers who want to highlight small subjects and textures with visual precision.
