One great thing is that we poor folks who can't afford the expensive 56 have the 60mm as a great portrait option--thank you Fuji.    I have gotten to where I don't like the super thin dof (one eye in focus, one eye out) for portraits anyway, and with 2.4 in the 60mm, and great high iso on these x trans cams, it is still capable of great natural light portraits, and when using flash in the stdio I am always up in the 5.6 to F8 area anyway, and the 60 is sharp as a tack as well, so I simply don't need the 56 and might not buy it even if I could afford it.

But in the end, that 60mm is a god send to us poor folks who still want top notch iq for portraits, the macro is just icing on the cake.
