When paired with any of the Fuji X mount cameras it looks well-balanced and not out of place. Unlike a lot of longer lenses that taper-down towards the front, the 80mm is more straight and square. It’s 130mm (5.11″) in length and has a diameter of 80mm (3.15″) – it’s roughly the same size as the Fuji XF 55-200mm. I don’t know why it matters, but the Fujifilm XF 80mm f/2.8 is one of the best looking lenses I’ve come across – so let’s start there. Let’s take a much closer look (pardon the pun) at the brilliant Fujifilm XF 80mm f/2.8.įujifilm X-T3 + Fujifilm XF 80mm f/2.8 Macro – together they make a good-looking and well-balanced kit. Side note – who else reckons that spiders are a visiting alien race – why do they need eight eyes, let alone eight legs? EIGHT eyes? While I could do without close-ups of spiders, it’s certainly admirable. Its little brother, the 60mm, would be incredibly proud of the optical excellence that the 80mm delivers in both macro and portrait images – it’s seriously sharp.īeing a member of several Fuji communities, it never ceases to amaze me the quality and creativity of images I see shot with this handy macro lens. It was not until late 2017 that Fuji finally met the demands of the macro-cohort and released the much anticipated XF 80mm f/2.8 Macro. However, the lens didn’t quite scratch the itch of the hardcore macro nerds out there as it was only a 1:2 macro lens – not the much desired 1:1 that most other brands had available.
It’s light, compact and delivers wonderful background effects at a reasonable price – much like many of their other lenses shown here.
What started out as being a sensible business decision by Fuji ended up becoming a cult classic – among Fuji shooters the 60mm is revered not just as a fun macro lens but also as a sharp portrait lens. It was one of Fuji’s very first X mount lenses and provided a 1:2 magnification solution for macro photographers. Weather-resistant lens with excellent Optical Image Stabilization and a highly accurate Floating Focus System.įor Fuji X shooters, macro photography has been available since way back in 2012 when Fujifilm released the XF 60mm f/4 Macro lens.
