My contribution. X-Pro1 + XF 60mm.

These are great photos.

But I wish Fuji upgraded this macro lens or planned a 90mm. The upcoming 120mm is way too big for the Fuji bodies, IMHO. I've now ordered the Zeiss Touit 50mm macro and even that focal length might not be ideal but at least it's about the same size as the Fuji 60.

I read the Zeiss had 1:1 magnification, which is a plus over the xf60mm

Another shot with the X-Pro1.
I like the 60 for portraits too.

I own both the 56 and the 60. Although they are close in focal length, they are different enough in other ways to justify owning both. In good light, I find the 60 with its close focus ability to be more versatile. And being smaller and lighter, it is much easier to carry.

does anyone know if the 60 AF's well enough with a raynox macro filter in tow? i am surprised how well my 18-55 AF's with the raynox 250 in place on the x-e1

The 60 with the raynox works the same, but if you are that close it's easier to focus manually and moving the camera back and forward. If you will use it you will need to buy a 39mm filter, if it's a cheap one remove the glass. This is because when the lens retracts the raynox will hit the lens body and will not allow the lens mechanism to work correctly, you need some kind of "spacer" to move the raynox a bit further away.

 

If you want some specific test I can do it for you.

I love this lens and frequently use it with a LED ring light a cheaper one that does not flash. OK the lens cover is naff. but I leave it off most of the time.  Low res pic attached.  The Ring LED was used.
