Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro Lens – 2:1 Ultra Macro Magnification for APS-C Fuji X

The Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro Lens delivers true 2:1 magnification for close-up imaging on APS-C mirrorless cameras, including Fuji X. It lets you photograph subjects at twice life size, making fine textures and tiny details clearly visible. The lens combines a bright f/2.8 aperture, a compact form factor, and a robust metal build for reliable field use.

Designed for macro detail and handheld flexibility

You can use this lens to capture insects, flowers, jewelry, and other small objects with high magnification. Because the lens is compact and lightweight, it suits handheld macro photography and travel. In addition, the bright f/2.8 maximum aperture helps when shooting in lower light and supports subject isolation with attractive background blur.

• 9-Blade Diaphragm: The nine-blade diaphragm contributes to pleasing, smooth out-of-focus areas when you stop down or shoot wide open.

Practical uses and handling tips

Use the lens for close-up work where revealing detail matters: watch scales on insects, the texture of flower petals, or the facets of jewelry. Because focusing and aperture are manual, take advantage of controlled focusing and deliberate aperture settings to achieve the sharpest plane of focus and the desired background rendering. Also, the short minimum focus distance lets you fill the frame with small subjects without additional extension tubes or accessories.
