No really, I was leery of getting a new on the market lens.(I've been disappointed before) I have nothing bad to say about this lens. I've shot macro, portraits, landscapes and am thrilled with the results. The lens covers a much broader range than I expected. Great choice.

What a beautiful lens!

This lens is remarkable; clear imaging, fast focusing and a total joy to work with. The final images I bring into Lightroom always impress me with their sharpness and color fidelity.

Phenomenal Sharpness!!

Other reviews had said this lens is super sharp, and those reviews are correct. This lens is very similar in size and weight to the Fujifilm 50mm f/2 R WR lens; in other words, small and light. Plus this lens is very quiet with the new LM motors. My only wish is that Fujifilm would make a 2nd macro lens of this quality and sharpness in a 50mm to 60mm focal length; both are needed.

An excellent lens

Got this lens as an early Christmas present (for myself) and am absolutely loving it. Honestly, I haven't had too much opportunity to use it due to weather and travel, but when I've been able to I've been impressed by the detail and color rendering.

Perfect for the food shots I want

By Thierry
Rated 5 out of 5

I purchased this lens to produce the food shots I wanted for my business. I am more than happy with the results. Out of curiosity I also tested it as an all rounder. It is my experience that my xf 35/1.4 does a better job at that. Same for my Voigtlander Nokton 23/1.4 , or even my XF 27/2.8 WR. But this should not be taken against the XF 30/2.8. Just my two cents, as it does the job I assigned it to perfectly.

Sharp, Versatile Lens

Sold my Fuji 60mm macro and purchased the 30mm F2.8. Takes some getting used to the focal length but sharp images and improved focus and will be a flexible addition for the type of close focusing and general photography needs I have.

Will this lens using the new Fujifilm XT-5 or X-H2 camera with Nikon ES-2 adapter be useful for slide copying?
Asked by: Nolan
I just tested the Fuji 30mm with the Nikon ES-2 (and 43mm to 52mm step-up ring). It works relatively well using manual focus on an X-T4, although the image does not fully fill the screen as the 30mm lens can focus closer than the ES-2 allows. If you are okay with cropping the image slightly, then the ES-2 is a good solution.

How does this compare to the How does this compare to Fujifilm 80mm 1:.2.8 R L OIS WR MACRO?
Asked by: Karen
I own both lenses. Ironically, despite having IS, the big 80mm is extremely difficult to get good, optimally focussed photos with if hand-held. It is very heavy and hard to hold steady. It does not have a tripod mount. Even if you want to use a tripod, you may need a rail system and generic tripod support to balance the camera. The little 30mm macro is fairly easy to focus, light and easy to carry and use hand-held. It, however, has flash issues. Godox is the only maker of flash units for Fujis proprietary hot shoe. You need their Fuji trigger + flash unit to get light to the subject if it is close to the lens because the Godox wont point low enough to light the subject. A reflector might help. The Godox macro ring flashes dont have a small enough adapter ring (43mm) to work on the 30mm lens. Maybe another manufacturer does. Neither lens comes with a case and most generic cases are the wrong proportions to fit these lenses: measure carefully. Still, I greatly prefer the 30mm for light maneuverability.
