Hey Guys,

I'm look at the 60mm at the moment as being an addition to my X-T1 bag, but have read some conflicting reviews on it.
The focal length and price are attractive, and I've heard that the focus speeds have been drastically improved.
I've seen a few threads with examples on here, anyone have anymore ? Experiences and opinions greatly appreciated.

Get one Mason. You won't regret it.

If you've only found a few threads with examples here you haven't looked very hard. It might be the single most discussed/argued about lens tha Fuji has given us.

I have almost all of the Available Fuji glass but if I had to trim back to three the 60mm would be one of them (with 35mm, 10-24mm).

Hey 94,
Would you pick it over the 56? Obviously the difference in price is ridiculous, I get the impression that a lot of people don't rate the 60mm highly is because of the 56.
Thanks!
