There is also a Mitakon 4.5x macro with Fuji mount

Folks,

I hear Fuji might come out with a replacement for the 60mm/2.4 sometime. Anybody have any updates?

I'm trying to decide on the following:

  1. Use my Canon 100mm/2.8 macro with my X-T1 through an adapter. It works, but MF only and 2.8 only, and it's big and heavy. But it gets to 1:1 magnification.
  2. Sell my Canon macro, and trade/upgrade to the 60mm/2.4. I get compact size, versatility, everything, for very little $... except I get 1:2 (which is probably fine most of the time)
  3. Wait for the new Fuji macro, but dunno when that would happen.
  4. Get the Zeiss 50/2.8 macro. Its really $$$ though.

So part of the equation comes down to if the new macro is worth waiting for.

thanks,

Evan
