Venus Optics Laowa 65mm 2:1 Macro for Fujifilm Coming in a Few Days

We have been informed (thanks!) that the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2:1 Macro lens for Fujifilm X mount will be announced very soon. It’s a matter of days.

We talked about this lens back in September, and there was a slight delay apparently. But it should finally hit the market.

Loawa 17mm f/4 Zero-D for Fujifilm GFX Sample Images (Price $1,249)

Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D

FujiRumors already shared the leaked Laowa 17mm f/4 Zero-D specs and price back in May here.

Today’s leak from China does not add anything new to the known specs, confirms the already leaked price of $1,249, but I share it because it adds a few sample images.

Hence, for the technical data, MTF charts and lens design, check out this article of May. For the sample images, just go to the bottom of this article.

The Rise of Chinese Lenses and Top 7 Chinese Fujifilm X Mount Lenses

The Rise of Chinese Lenses

In the last few weeks, we covered a couple of new Chinese Fujifilm X mount lenses here on FujiRumors, such as the brand new 7Artisans 60mm F2.8 1:1 Macro and the Kamlan 50mm f/1.1 MK II.

In 2019, a lot of buzz has been created also by the first third-party reverse-engineered autofocus X mount lens, the Chinese Viltrox 85mmF1.8, whereas in 2018 the Lawoa 9mm f/2.8 was the very best seller here on FujiRumors (yep, it sold better than ANY Fujinon XF lens amongst FR-readers).

Chinese lenses: the price is (mostly) low, the quality goes up and the sales explode!

Here are the best selling ones.

  1. Meike 35mm f/1.7
  2. Viltrox 85mm f/1.8 AF
  3. Neewer 25mm f/1.8
  4. 7Artisans 35mm f/1.2
  5. Mitakon 35mm f/0.95 MKII
  6. Meike MK 25mm F1.8
  7. Meike MK-35mm F/1.4

It looks like the lable “made in China” is no longer something photographers are too skeptical of.

Today I’d like to ask you if you own any of these lenses, and if you want, you can share your feedback in the comments down below. Your feedback might be helpful for the rest of the Fujifilm community.
