If you just gotta have 1:1, get a el cheapo 16mm extension tube for the 60 will get you pretty close to 1:1. To me the beauty of the 60 is that it is really a close focusing short telephoto all around lens

Thanks for the hint Dave. I found this extension tube on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/Mcoplus-MK-F-AF3-Extension-Adapter-Fujifilm/dp/B01KJQ8CJA/ref=pd_cp_421_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01KJQ8CJA&pd_rd_r=4QS0F8HZ0P6SB61B47M2&pd_rd_w=D5l1W&pd_rd_wg=TviVP&psc=1&refRID=4QS0F8HZ0P6SB61B47M2

There are cheaper ones too, but it seems for $30 to get both 11mm and 16mm and with electronic contacts is not too bad.

If this works it seems I'd almost rather have this than a bigger, heavier and much more $$ 80mm/2.8.

Be careful how you interpret the world: It is like that.
