One additional note, I found using a cage on my X-T5 helps balance the weight of the 80mm macro - making it easier to shoot macro handheld.

I have been looking for macro equipment for my X-S20. The XF 80 is very good but was put off by the weight, the clunking noise and the cost. Some reviews mentioned that there was a lot of focus breathing and thought that may affect focus stacking if the images were produced by the built in focus bracketing. I hadn't seen any reviews of this and I felt a bit concerned about it. On looking at reviews of macro systems I decided to go for the Laowa 65mm macro lens. Selecting the flash was harder because I thought that the Godox V1 would be the best flash to get, but was again concerned about the weight and decided to go for the Godox V350. I will be getting the Cygnustech diffuser. I use the X-S20 with the 70-300mm lens and the 1.4X teleconverter for general wildlife photography and carried that setup with a backpack on a 7 mile walk and noticed the weight at the end. A small lightweight setup is what I like, especially if I will be using it for several hours. Your tips about buying things from eBay were very useful, thank you.

Such a great video! Informative coverage of the lens and useful tips (in plain language) for us who are new in the world of macro photography. As a hobbyist who is not making any money of my photos, this is indeed a big investment. Especially since the lens is a bit old (not necessarily dated) and the competition is getting bigger for this lens. This could explain the second hand price drops? Definitely looking out for your new videos! 🙌

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. Completely agree on the lens and why I bought one second hand.

I've had my XF80 for about a month. Lots of fun so far, totally new to macro and its pretty interesting. The lens reminds me of a Gfx lens in build and IQ. All linear motor lenses clunk except for the GF100-200, it has some sort of locking feature. Anxious to see your XT5 focus stack video, I've been too lazy to learn the technique.

Thanks for watching. I’ve never held a GFX lens, good to hear.
