FUJIFILM XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro

Our thoughts

'Fujifilm has a few lenses labeled ‘macro’ in its lineup, but not all are capable of reproducing an image of a subject at true life size (1:1) like the XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro. If truth be told, the barrel feels a little plasticky despite it being weather sealed and it’s prone to high-frequency whirring when focusing, however these are the only downsides on what is otherwise an impressive optically stabilised prime that lets you shoot fascinating close-ups handheld. Optimum sharpness is obtained between f/4 and f/8 and vignetting is well controlled. If you’re a Fujifilm user specialising in macro photography it’s a lens that has your name written all over it.'  

The details

By achieving high resolving power at the focus point and beautiful bokeh, this lens is optimal for shooting flowers and nature photos. Combine this lens with Fujifilm’s unique Film Simulation such as Velvia, for truly stunning close up images.

This lens supports hand-held shooting thanks to Optical Image Stabilizer system suppressing shift shake*. The lens also provides a fast and silent Auto Focus system by adopting linear motors. The exterior design is luxurious yet robust, so you can get premium feel. The aperture and focusing rings have been designed to be comfortable and easy to use. The lens is also weather and dust resistant and can operate in temperatures as low as -10°C, so it is suitable for use in a wide range of outdoor shooting conditions. A fluorine coating has also been applied to the front lens element to repel water and dirt, further improving the toughness of the lens.
