A Very Capable Macro Lens for the Fujfilm System
By Eric
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-06-14
This lens is very sharp, works well with my Fujifilm X-H2S. The focus throw of the lens is good. The lens is well constructed and feels like it a high quality product. I like the bokeh this lens produces when shot wide open at f/2.8. The lens' weight is just right, not to heavy, and balances well with the X-H2S. If you don't mind learning how to manual focus, this is the lens to get. The focal length makes it versatile for macro and portrait photography.

Would the focus stacking ability of a Fujifilm X-T3 still work or is that a victim of no electronic connections?
Unfortunately to do the auto focus stacking ability in the X-T3, you do need electronic communication. However, if you plan to do your stack in post, then you could use this lens no problem.
