X100T has a cool macro mode! Bad news: you need to be very close... Good news: it develops your ninja skills!

I am struggling with a conversion to Fuji for macro. My old Nikon macro rig consisted of a D7100 with the 105 VRG lens. I want to get to 1:1 using my Fuji XE2s. Any suggestions? It seems that my options are either a 60 coupled with extension tubes or the new 80 2.8 macro. Unfortunately the second option isn't in my budget.

 

I am willing to consider manual focus options, but prefer to have AF capability.

 

Thanks, Allen

I know the 80mm is expensive, but it's in the same order of pricing as the Nikon 105. It's also the best 1:1 lens I have ever used. I have used the Minolta and Sony ones extensively and the Nikon.

 

The stabilization is superb and makes a real difference. In addition, coupled with the 1.4x extender, you have a 180mm reach in FF terms, which gives you lots and lots of working room.

 

Finally, unlike other macro lenses, it's no slouch in terms of focusing speed in non-macro circumstances, which makes it a pretty decent telephoto lens.

 

Finally, it's by far the sharpest macro I have ever used, and it's probably the sharpest Fuji lens out there. I sold my 90mm F/2 after I got the macro.

 

I'll post some samples in this thread.

      Apply noise reduction in RAW file and save as RAW again

      By Greybeard · Posted

      The short answer is no but if X Raw Studio noise reduction doesn’t give you the results you like why not process them with another raw processor? You could then apply noise reduction together with whatever other processing you want to do.

      OVF Framelines

      By Fujimann · Posted

      Hello, I've been a Fuji user for a few years with various XT cameras...I'm thinking of getting an X-Pro 2 camera even though it's late in the game...I'm wondering if the frame lines in the OVF are set for a few specific focal lengths or if they change with new focal length lenses coming out now. I recently got a Viltrox 27mm lens and in the info I see online I haven't seen anything related to that focal length when it comes to the framelines. I plan to use that lens a lot with the XP2...if I get it. Does anyone know anything about this? Thank you for any help.

      Apply noise reduction in RAW file and save as RAW again

      By Floky · Posted

      Hello,   During my recent trip i used my new X-S20 to take photos. I wasn't really familiar with the camera and it was my first camera and the first ~200-300 photos were taken by mistake with 6400 iso, even during the day. I saw ISO 6400 in camera, but i thought that was the max ISO, not constant. I did save RAW files with the intention to use XRAW studio from Fujifilm to play with different settings. My question is, is it possible to use a third party program to apply noise reduction to RAW files and then save them again as RAW files and continue with using them with XRAW studio? I know i can apply noise reduction with XRAW studio settings but from what i read, other programs are better. Or maybe you know some other way to save those photos?, i really liked how they turned out and i am a little dissapointed with that mistake..

      X-E5 reassign the exposure compensation dial

      By mnagle8 · Posted

      I think reassigning the exposure compensation dial a good start.  The 520 page online manual should be condensed along with the number of setting options. Maybe they could have multiple firmware options for the X-E5; a pro-version, a photo enthusiasts version and a point and shoot version.  I love my X-E5 photographs but as a typical senior, with declining cognitive skills, I’m sorry say that I find the current singular version unnecessarily challenging.
