According to our camera lens expert
The Venus LAOWA 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra-Macro APO Lens Fujifilm X-mount is a macro lens for your Fujifilm mirrorless camera. You can focus manually with this lens. This way, you can determine the focus point yourself. Thanks to the focal length of 65mm and a maximum zoom of 2x, you can capture your subject life-sized. This is useful when photographing tiny details or insects, for example. The maximum aperture of f/2.8 allows you to even take clear photos in dark situations and create a soft background blur. This background blur is also nicely round thanks to the 9 circle-shaped aperture blades.

Magnification up to 2:1 in such a small, handy package is exceptional in itself, but the highlight of this lens is undoubtedly the high resolution, combined with an almost flawless correction of chromatic aberrations ("colored edges"). and this throughout the full focus range! The build quality has not been spared either: the lens is solidly made and the focus ring runs very smoothly and evenly.
The few hiccups are easy to forgive and somewhat subjective. The angle of view is not constant throughout focusing, causing a slight "zoom" effect. As far as I'm concerned, the aperture ring should have been completely serrated, instead of alternately a bit. Now my fingers are sometimes looking for extra grip. The lens doesn't communicate with the camera, so you won't get useful EXIF data in your files; on the other hand, you also know that you will never have a problem with internal electronics. The bokeh is defensible but nothing exceptional, and in my opinion the lens is even a bit too sharp to serve as a portrait lens (unless you go for that effect, of course).

Relatively cheap. No electronics, so manual focus and no info in the photos. But by setting your Fuji correctly, it is still possible to get the info in the photos. And manual focus is no problem either, especially for macros.
