My XS10 came with a Capture One license but my PC at the time would barely run it so I stuck with my ancient version of Picasa. Bought a new PC and my old Capture One has been deprecated and fuji site only talks about a 3 month trial. Is there a work around or should I be looking for something else? -

I have the Fuji 80 mm macro and really like it. It's very sharp and I use it for macro but also for general photography. If you find yourself zoomed to 55, this may land in the right spot. Also, this lens is very good with magnification distortion (pincushion or barrel), which is probably important if you're doing product photography and the product has straight lines. It is autofocus. I hear you don't prioritize that, but there's something else you gain when you have autofocus. You can combine multiple photos taken at slightly different focus distances, using stacking software, and autofocus lets the camera automate the process of taking all these, using focus bracketing. It even calculates how much the focus should change between these exposures. This lens, new, is above your stated budget. Maybe you can find it used? In any case, options are always nice to have, and others may like this option too. So, just a thought. One more thing: I've never used the Laowa macro you mention, but I do have their circular fisheye. I love circular fisheyes, and also have two other brands, and comparing them I find the Laowa is considerably better than the other two. That's a vote for Laowa. -
I thought it is due to display issue but it is in the photo and video also. The officials are demanding very high to change the sensor, but I don't have that much money. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zkmUyANonXejeX1e20YTsH8geGDdDBLc -
Hello all! New here, longtime Fuji shooter. I currently use an X-T3 for product photography, and I'm looking to add a genuine macro lens to my arsenal. I primarily shoot computer equipment like keyboards, mice and the like. I find myself using the 18-55mm kit lens at full zoom, since my other lenses are either too wide or can't focus close enough for my needs. I've been doing some research on macro lenses for the X-mount system, and am really drawn to the Laowa 65mm f/2.8 "Ultra Macro" after testing one at a local shop, since I'd be able to focus as close as I'll ever need with it. Since I photograph entirely static items, having autofocus really isn't a priority for me, and I'd rather save both money and weight with a manual-focus lens. I'm wondering, though, if there are any other options that fit my use case, or if anyone's had serious issues with this lens? I tried adapting a few of my Canon FD lenses in the past, but they were a bit hazy and got some weird distortion/chromatic abberation, so I'd rather stick with something relatively new instead of gambling on older glass. However, I am open to buying used if there's a really good deal. My budget tops out around $500, and I'm located in the U.S. Thanks in advance! -
If weight and size are the main issues, I would say the new XE-5 is the camera for you. I don't entirely agree with the idea that such a camera is too small for long lenses. The assembly is supported with the left hand (assuming you are right handed) under the lens at the point of balance.
