Fujinon 80mm f2.8 macro -- BEST macro lens EVER? 

Great review, just ordered this lens, I’m excited!

The zeiss 120mm macro made for Contax was considered the gold standard for macro. Especially shooting chrome. And bugs. A real 3 dimensionality to the imagery.

Hi I have a quick question. If I use the XT4, would the OIS on the lens even matter? Will the OIS on both the camera and lens work together or only the camera one would work even when a OIS lens is used?

Nice video. I’m thinking about getting a 60mm macro. I’m shooting more products shots that are more stabled. I’m afraid it won’t be sharp. Do you have any experience with the 60mm?

Thank you! Excellent review. What do you think for Food? I also have the 56mm 1.2

Cris, thank you for your review, that was very detailed. I'd like to share my experience with this lens related to videoshooting - this is what I was trying to do with it (on an X-T3), and I was quite disappointed to see, that autofocus tracked very slowly when panning and going from a near object to a more distant one. Very slow means something like 20 seconds. --> twenty! I asked Fuji Aftersales Switzerland (yes, I am Swiss based too), and I was told that this lens has an OLM motor and is not qualified for videography. I am no professional photographer - so maybe my expectations are just too high?

Hi Cris. I have a question: Can one do focus stacking in macro mode with the 80mm lens? I have the extension tube, but the focus stacking does not work with the extension tube? Is this correct, or am I missing some settings in the camera?

Great review. How is this lens different to the 80mm 1.7? Is the difference that significant in your opinion? Thanks!

I've had my eye on this lens for a hot minute. Thanks for the info!!

Hi :) nice video and thanks for the content A little question, are you based in Switzerland, I feel like I recognize the place :)

i have a question i never used a macro lens so i dont know about which focal length is good for it for example fuji new 30mm macro came out and this 80mm macro how does the focal length effect the macro shots does 80mil zooms in more and 30 mil provides less magnified shots i want to know that so i could choose the right macro lens for me thanks in advance

Is it true that if you shake it or turn it ubside down you feel that some part inside it moves?

hi do you think for scanning 35 mm negatives I should be at f5.6 or f8?

A a matter a fact a lot of photographers are complaining about this lens as a portrait lens because it's _too_ sharp for portraits and pictures are not always flattering. Also not everyone is a fan of the swirley bokeh. I've purchased this lens exclusively for macro photography and I must say I'm quite happy with it. I'm probably one of the most impatient people when it comes to capturing nature for macro photography but it goes really well with this lens. The autofocus is very effective and the reason why I bought this lens. When you want value for money the Laowa 65mm macro lens is probably a much better deal. I don't know if the tip of stopping to f/11 is really useful. Although the lens has a terrific IOS system it's recommended to have a shutter time of at least 1/125th of a second. Stopping down to f/11 makes this pretty much impossible unless you crank up the ISO to pretty extreme values. I try to avoid anything higher than ISO 800 with a maximum of ISO 6400 if there's no way around. Above this makes image quality unacceptable in my humble opnion. Still decent, but very grainy.

It’s my favorite fuji lens

How does it compare to the Laowa 65 mm ?

But auto focus only saves in jpeg? Great review!!

Hi, Seems a beast in dimensions and spec. I went for the 60mm after I read improvement in autofocus on the latest bodies. It still hunts for focus, so definitely not as good as new lenses, time will tell if this was an issue. I also choose the 60mm for the following reasons: - versatility - small form factor. - broken - focal lens on an x-pro3, still within what can be used with the OVF. As I am interested in macro, but not yet sure to invest in dedicated lenses, so the 1:2 ratio is not a deal breaker. For situation where I need autofocus or WR I go with the 35mm F2. Maybe I should have selected a 50mm F2 and the adapter ring... We'll see. Nice video as usual. Stephane

It’s good but nikkor 105 is way better than that i think. btw you take very nice pictures.

I'm 😊101 to like

The shots don't do this lens justice...

Picture quality looks like hot garbage

My phone takes much better and closer macro photos
