The Laowa 65mm macro seems well regarded, I'm sure it would serve you well.  Another potential choice would be the Fuji 30mm macro, but it would have a closer working distance and might make lighting your subjects harder.

It does look strange…,  but no, it is part of CSX’s (a railway company) maintenance equipment. 

military?  pretty cool.

Example: I am using a custom recipe, and I then use the film simulation dial to select a simulation. Are values from the custom recipe carried over, such as highlights, shadow, and white balance etc.? After studying the articles in Fuji X Weekly, this appears to be the case If you set a recipe on one of the C slots its settings will be applied to all the film simulations on the dial. The workaround is to use your 'standard' recipe at C1.   Please clarify this for me . I would have thought the film simulation dial would have no input from other camera settings.   Thank you - Very Confuded!

Is this on the X-T30 II? Sounds like you have HDR selected in the shooting menu. The other alternative when you see the "storing" message is that the Clarity setting is non-zero but that doesn't cause multiple clicks.
