Anhui China, 6 October, 2022 – Venus Optics, the camera lens manufacturer that has been endeavouring to invent unique lenses, is now releasing 2 new cine macro lenses:

Laowa 65mm T2.9 2X Macro APO Cine (Super 35) – Fujifilm X / Sony E/ / Nikon Z / Canon EF-M
Laowa 100mm T2.9 2X Ultra Macro APO Cine (Full Frame) – PL / Sony E / Canon EF / Canon RF / L mount

The 2 lenses offer up to an exceptional 2X magnification which can barely be found on the market. Providing cinematographers with higher flexibility in shooting subjects of different sizes. With an APO design, the lenses render quality images without chromatic aberration. Greatly reduce the effort for post-editing, especially for macro shots. Both the 65mm and the 100mm have a T2.9 large aperture for not just creating a shallower depth of field, but also good for low light situations. Make ready for professional use, the focusing ring and the step-less aperture ring are all equipped with industrial standard...

Maybe I don't understand...but T ratings are very close in the ballpark to the F stops in general..right?
If so, 2.9 doesn't sound all that fast to me....and the article was talking like these things were light monsters for macro....?

Maybe they didn't read the posts by our CanonRumors' "experts", who keep stating that EF-M is long dead...

That is not a new lens to begin with plus they are going to port their EF-M 65mm Macro to RF mount in coming days so yeah it was just a low hanging fruit for Cine conversion.

RF mount is already listed as an option for the 65 cine lens on Venus Optics web site.

T2.9 is probably F2.8 (or a little faster.)
2x macro lenses that focus to infinity aren't that common.

That's true.

I have their 15mm macro lens that focuses to infinity, and can give an interesting look for a macro shot with a LOT of the background in focus too....interesting images with that one.
