Lens advice

[Jamila]

Hello, I would like to have your advice regarding specific lens for my Fuji xt-30. 
Could you give me an advice what type of lens would be the best for macro photography (jewellery product pictures) considering reasonable amount of money?
Or maybe there is no need for macro lens specifically but some zoom lens which could be useful for me in different type of shooting as well?
Thanks for your response!

I do not think you will have to use a macro lens to get great shots of your jewelry, but it does not hurt.

Fujifilm has three macro lenses that will work with your camera; the XF 30mm macro, the XF 60mm macro and the XF 80mm macro. The 30mm and the 60mm usually are priced about the same, you just need to check around. The 80mm is the more expensive of the bunch, you may be able to get a low priced used copy. All three lenses get decent reviews.

I am going to include a link to a chart that shows how much magnification the XF lens get with Fujifilm extension tubes. Using one of those with your current lens may  enough.

For third party lenses, there is the Zeiss Touit 50mm macro lens, other folks may list other suggestions.

p.s. Welcome to the forum.
