Fujifilm Fujinon XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro Review

Macro lenses slightly longer than the standard for a format have always been popular, largely for the increased working distance that enables the subject to receive better lighting, without the lens getting in the way. As such, in 35mm format terms, the 100mm lens has reached almost universal acceptance as the best compromise. Fuji now has a new macro lens for their APS-C format X series cameras, an 80mm f/2.8. This has a “35mm format equivalent” of 120mm (actually 122mm), which is relatively unusual. There have been 120mm lenses in the days of manual focus film SLRs, but not for many years. So here we have the new Fujinon 80mm f/2.8 Macro, let's put it to the test using the Fujifilm X-T2 body provided for this review.
