Lens *macro* recommendations for X-S10

Recommended Posts

Good morning, photography comrades

I am writing to you for advice as a newly incorporated amateur into the world of photography.

I would like to start in macrophotography, and for this I would need a lens that was according to the camera I own, which is a Fuji X-S10.

I would not mind moving in high budgets (€ 1000, other types of equipment included if needed) if I can get results similar to those I am looking for. Similar to this 20 photos macro exceptionnelles de dame nature | fénoweb (fenoweb.com)

Hope you can help me with this.

Thanks in advance for your help!

if the budget allows it, the fuji 80mm macro is unbeatable and often second hand under 1k€

with the remaining budget you could/should get a dedicated macro flash

the cheapest option would be an extension tube (or set)

 

mid way is the fuji 60mm, which can go to 1:1 with an extension tube

 

getting one of the macro lenses or an extension tube with electrical contacts would allow you to use the focus stacking feature in the camera, as opposed to going for an adapted/manual lens

 

lighting, however, is important in macro, so a decent front mounted flash is needed (even LED does a decent job)

    • Looking more like the next Fuji camera we see will be an X-T50 but it is still a rumor and no specs have been published.
    • Hey guys, The shutter on/off button switch may be loose on mine. After turning camera on and pressing the shutter/holding close to the area, the camera will turn off and say 'sensor cleaning'. This doesn't happen if I'm shooting via touch screen at all. Everything else is functional. Anyone else experience this before? Would love a much cheaper fix since Fuji Canada just quoted me $700 CAD to fix it, and considering everything else is functional except that part I'm not even sure why MPMB Main Board parts is being replaced😕 I got no explanation from them either.
    • As far as I know the firmware is not country specific. Are you sure that the filename has not been changed ( I am told this can happen with mac os). That's the only thing I can think of.
    • My x-t5 does not exhibit the focusing switch behaviour as you report it, so that is very strange and indicative of a fault. It does not matter whether the flash is attached or not. Once you set the camera for your studio flash, say 1/250th at f5.6, the camera, which is showing you what you will get at that exposure without the flash, will show a black screen unless the ambient light is brighter than what you would typically get indoors. That is why, as Jerry says, you have to set preview exp/wb to off. I have set a button for this.
    • I connected to FRAME.IO a while back and it works fine, but the camera wouldn't connect to the internet all of a sudden today and would get stuck on the reset screen, including initializing and even switching USB Connection mode. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
