Hand held? That’s amazing you must have steady hands. May I ask which lens that was?

Hehe.. I'm a double espresso 2x per day guy. Decidedly shaky.

Handheld was for a reason. This is Fuji's first OIS prime so I wanted to test it out.

XF80mm f/2.8 Macro. F8. ISO 640 SS 1/64th. JPEG

They claim it is good for 5 stops. I don't have any dedicated macro gear yet but so far this thing is pretty impressive to this macro newb.

Cool I have the Fujifilm XE-2, so that should fit on my camera body? I should check that out.

Never mind I just saw the price too rich for my blood. I’ll keep my Nikkor 105 thank you.

Totally understand. I've got a really bad case of GAS. If I had to prioritize I'd spend the money on an X-T2 or X Pro2 first. AF is really improved and the 24mp sensor is an improvement too.

The 80 seems to be a pretty nice portrait lens too.

Nice !! some early reviews on the web have been very positive.

I was using the 56mm 1.2 on my XT 1 with cheap arsed $26, non-fuji extension tubes for Macro...predictably, they've crapped out, so looking to get the proper Fuji ones this time.

So far the 80 is almost living up to the hype. Looking forward to putting it on a tripod and trying focus stacking.

I don’t find the autofocus on the 80 as fast as the 16-55 or 50-140 but it’s pretty good.

The 56 is a magical lens. Little fussy in autofocusing but such a great optic. Happy shooting!

Nice!

I am still waiting for Canon to release some primes for the EF-M mount. Perhaps 2018 will be the year...

Thanks, gents! Sorry - totally slammed at work. Haven't had time to play. Took a few snaps while watching the Seahawks yesterday. Wanted to try focus stacking. This is 4 images merged together for 4 different depth of field perspectives. Gets more in focus in theory.

Did a lousy job lighting so this is just a quick and dirty trial run.

More / better to come.

Focus stack v1
