Laowa 180mm F4.5 Macro Gets Fujifilm X-Mount AF Version
Laowa has released a Fujifilm X-mount version of its 180mm F4.5 1.5x Ultra Macro APO, and it's the brand's first autofocus lens for X-mount. Available now at USD $499, it gives a 270mm equivalent field of view on Fuji bodies. Note: AF is full from 1.5m to infinity only; closer than that you get limited focus-stacking assistance, not continuous AF.
