Venus Optics Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO Lens for Sony E
Key Features
  • E-Mount Lens/APS-C Format
  • 97.5mm (35mm Equivalent)
  • Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
  • Three Extra-Low Dispersion Elements
Close-focusing, apochromatic, and compact, the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO from Venus Optics is a sleek telephoto prime designed for APS-C-format Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its macro design enables a greater-than-life-size 2:1 maximum magnification along with a 6.7" minimum focusing distance to suit working with close subjects. In regard to the optics, it uses three extra-low dispersion elements to greatly reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve a high degree of clarity and color accuracy. Additionally, it is a manual focus lens, with an internal focusing design, and has a nine-blade diaphragm to contribute to a smooth bokeh quality to suit shallow depth of field applications.

The Canon M50 has no shutter setting - page 5 of Shooting Settings has 3 items (all are off) - MF Peaking, AF-assist, Lens electronic MF - these are off. I can never take a photo with this lens on the M50?
Asked by: Jon
The solution proposed for the Canon camera also is needed to make my Fujufilm X-Pro2 and X-Pro3 cameras take the exposure. Unless I set for a release without a lens mounted, the camera will not fire. Once I set it to fire without a lens mounted (although the Laowa IS mounted), it makes the exposure. Aperature is not shown in the viewfinder, but the effect of the aperature is seen in the viewfinder and exposure.
