Exceptional Optics for Macro Photography and Film Scanning
I’ve been using the LAOWA 65mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro for a few months, and it has quickly become one of the sharpest lenses I’ve ever used. The image quality is absolutely stunning, with incredible detail and clarity that easily rivals much more expensive lenses. Every fine texture and subtle color shift comes through beautifully, especially when working with macro subjects. I also use this lens to digitize my analog film, and it performs exceptionally well for that purpose. The level of precision it delivers allows me to capture every grain and tone accurately, which is essential for high-quality film scans. The color reproduction is clean and natural, and the lack of distortion makes post-processing much easier. That said, it’s a fully manual lens, and focusing can be challenging, especially for handheld shots. It takes patience and a steady hand to nail focus consistently, but once you do, the results are worth it. If you are used to autofocus lenses, expect a bit of a learning curve. Overall, this is an excellent lens for anyone who values optical performance and doesn’t mind taking full control of their focus. It’s not for everyone, but for macro enthusiasts and those who digitize film, it’s a remarkable tool that delivers professional results.

It is amazing
It is so fun and amazing The lens hood is nice but a bit redundant as it gets in the way. But the lens it's self will let you explore the macro would with smooth focus and easy to adjust aperture. Truly wonderful and excellent build quality and price

E' la mia prima ottica macro, quindi non ho molto metro di paragone. Serve qualche ora per prenderci confidenza, poi è uno spettacolo

Objektiv für die Fuji XT-20 erworben. Preis/Leistung top, sehr gute Bildqualität und Abbildungsleistung, bei 2:1 ist es natürlich schwierig scharfe Freihandbilder zu bekommen, es sind schon mehrere Versuche notwendig, bei Wind geht nix mehr - am besten bei flachen Motiven nutzbar, auch kaum mehr Tiefenschärfe bei diesem Abbildungsmassstab, bis 1:1 sehr gut. Hilfreich ist es die ISO Zahl zu erhöhen, führt zu kürzeren Verschlusszeiten. Gerade bei Fuji Systemkameras ist die Bildqualität auch bei ISO 1600 sehr gut. Auch die Verarbeitungsqualität ist erstklassig. Bin sehr zufrieden und kann dieses Objektiv sehr empfehlen. Natürlich wäre ein Bildstabilisator wünschenswert, jedoch wäre der Preis dann viel höher. Autofokus vermisse ich bei Makro nicht, da man manuell fokussiert besser den gewünschten Schärfepunkt wählen kann - Fokus Peaking ist sehr hilfreich. Ich verwende fast nie ein Stativ, da man ohne schneller und flexibler ist, vor allem bei Insekten-Motiven in einer Wiese, bei Blumen und starren Motiven ist ein Stativ sinnvoll, da man die ISO Zahl reduzieren, die Verschlusszeit erhöhen, eine kleinere Blendenöffnung wählen und so die Bildqualität nochmals steigern kann. Von Offenblende bis Blende 11 sehr gute Auflösung, ab Blende 16 leicht abnehmende Auflösung aufgrund der Beugung. Die Auflösung in den Bildrändern ist auch sehr gut.

I have been very impressed with this lens overall. The sharpness is excellent when you nail focus. As with any true macro lens, depth of field becomes razor thin at close distances, so getting everything perfectly sharp takes patience and practice. Since this is a fully manual lens, anything moving can be difficult to capture, but that is more a matter of technique than a flaw in the lens itself. For the price, the image quality is very strong. When conditions are right and focus is dialed in, the level of detail is impressive. The 2x magnification opens up creative possibilities that you simply cannot get with standard lenses. Another big advantage is the size. It is small and compact, making it easy to toss into a camera bag without adding much weight. That portability makes it more likely to actually come with me rather than staying at home. It is also surprisingly usable for portraits, especially if you are looking for a very sharp, detailed look. Overall, this is a great value macro lens that delivers excellent results as long as you are comfortable working with manual focus and the inherent challenges of macro photography.

J'ai longtemps hésité avant de m'acheter un objectif macro. J'ai utilisé plusieurs techniques : des bonnettes Raynox, des bagues allonge, un antique (mais toujours très bon) TAMRON 90. Finalement j'ai craqué pour cet objectif et j'en suis ravi : une netteté incomparable avec ce que j'obtenais jusque la et un rapport maxi à 2. Parfais pour mon utilisation (focus stacking sur insectes)

Amazing macro lens with 2x magnification. I mostly use it for close up of my aquariums especially of my shrimp. On my xt5 with mf assist its a nice lens and sharp quality. I used to have a canon r6mk2 with the 100 2.8 rf lens with extension tube and it costed 4x more but the image quality is basically the same at a fraction of the price and weight. Of course as you know crop sensors are better for macro work. At f22 the photos turned out great. Highly recommended. There's no auto focus, but manual focus i feel necessary for true macro work.
