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

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

Since both price and size seem important, you may want to look into the Leica I recommended. It is significantly cheaper than Fuji's 60mm if you take your time to find a good and well priced copy. The dumb adapter to mount it on your x-cam is maybe $20 (depending on the lens, Leica R to Fuji X or Leica M to Fuji X)

Of course, manual focus only, but so would be the adapted Canon or Zeiss. Unlike the Canon, you would have full aperture control.

Or possibly a used Fujinon 60mm is worth cosnidering?
