As far as I know, the new 50mm f2.0 is not a macro lens. The 60mm f2.4 is a 2:1 macro lens. If you want a new true 1:1 macro lens than your current choices are the Zeiss Touit 50mm f2.8 Macro or the Samyang/Rokinon 100mm f2.8 Macro. Or, you could wait for the new Fuji 80mm macro to be released next year or get an adapted Canon or Nikon macro lens, which is what a lot of macro shooters seem to do.

When all else fails, maybe it's time to read the manual.
