The 60 mm f2.4 is a great lens. I like very much shooting macro with it. I have mounted it always on my "old" X-T1 and it is every time a great experience to shoot flowers or insects. As soon, as I have the money saved, I´ll buy the 80 F2.8. But for now the 60 mm is a great lens. Greetings from Germany
Hey, I love Fujifilm, but you guys were not doing macro photography here at all... at least not traditional macro photography that works at 1:1 reproduction. I hope a better video is produced showing the new 80mm lens used in real macro situations.
I think it's a nice video with some fun and calm outdoor shoots, but I'm afraid it isn't very informative. I learned that the 80mm is stabilized, weather resistant and quite heavy. The 60mm is not, but wheighs a lot less. These are things that I can read from a spec sheet. It's a missed opportunity to compare both lenses regarding image quality at different f-stops for macro photography.
dont get all the comments too expensive, OIS, W-sealing, 200-300 more than many fuji primes, pre-ordered, its an incredible mass of engineering thought and quality, guess ill get mine that much quicker, more on the 80mm please
Besides extra 20mm focal, are there any other benefits for 80mm lens over 60mm? 60mm has a better aperture and much cheaper, so I wonder if I should overpay for 80mm? Please advise. Thanks
I thought there would be a side-by-side comparison between the 60mm and the 80mm lenses. There is no way that I will pay $1200 for an 80mm macro lens. It makes me sorry that I sold my Nikon stuff, where I could have picked up a Tamron 90mm macro for about $650.
Nicolaas Strik I agree with you... I was waiting for this lens for a while but it seems it’s a better deal to just buy the 60mm macro and the 90mm f2..
nice work Fuji Guys ! . . . but the Fuji 80mm is over-priced ! full-frame Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 IS L is $749 @ B&H, so the Fuji is over 1.5 times the cost.
i really love my Fuji X system but these guys are horrible . almost no post producted photo, misused 80mm imho as he was too far away for macro every single shot AND wtf is this music?!?!? and don´t "&" the 60 and the 80, people want comparisons, jesus christ
Thanks for your feedback. BTW...Since this video was produced, we have added a second prime lens with OIS (XF200F2) and have a few other OIS lenses on the roadmap.
