Pros: Small size, lightweight, very well structured and fluid rings. Very well defined, I see no differences with the other sacred "macro" monsters I have supplied (Nikon 105, 70-180 and 200). In addition, it reaches up to the 2x ratio with a decidedly soft cost. Happy with the purchase (used by RCE Foto, but practically "new") and optical performance.

Cons: It's just manual, no automatism: is it a defect?

Opinion: Only manual, no automatism: it forces you to check once more and think: I don't necessarily see it as a defect, it's like going back to the old SLRs and manual lenses of the past. Only one warning for Fuji XT kit owners (this lens has a Fuji mount for the XT 4): since it does not recognize the paired lens (there are no automatisms) it is essential to set the "settings rings and buttons" option "shoot without ON lens" in the "settings and buttons" menu; otherwise the SLR DOES NOT CLICK.

Pros: Small, light, crisp, zero chromatic aberrations, fluid focus ring, diaphragm ring

Cons: does not have contacts, manual fire

Opinion: I recently have this lens bought a little blindly looking at some online reviews, the monto on Fuji Xt4 and I fell in love with it, it is really exceptional, excellent at pushed magnifications and goes well even for portraits maintaining a blurry "precise" and almost free of chromatic aberrations. It is very light and discreet, the focus ring is very precise and clutched the right, good the ring of the diaphragms. It's all made of metal, including the light screen. Mounted on mirrorless, despite not having contacts and the F.0 iris is marked on the display, however you can easily expose thanks to the on-screen or evf preview. The only negative note is the not being able to use the automatisms of the xt4 for focus bracketing but otherwise for me it is really perfect and I absolutely feel like recommending it.

Pros: Lightness, compactness, definition, construction quality, APO

Cons: Lamp plug, manual focus only (but in macros it's not a real flaw)

Opinion: Finally a macro lens designed specifically for aps-c format and at an affordable price. I took it for my Fuji, preferring it to the much more expensive fujinon xf 80mm macro. The build quality is excellent and the weight extremely low. Sharpness is very good in view of the price. Pairing with fuji machine body is perfect and there are no games. The focus is only manual, however taking a little hand you can shoot even freehand. The lampshed is the only real defect I have encountered so far, in particular the grafting in the "rest" position is particularly difficult and there is a risk of ruining the thread. Overall it's a great lens.
