Some background: I have a sigma 105mm macro from back when I used Nikon and I LOVED this lens. Nice field of view and very fast AF, and a focus range limit switch. This was in fact the only lens I didnt't sell when I sold all my other Nikon stuff.
What I am contemplating now is to get the fuji 60mm instead. I am intrigued by the small size as a general walkaround lens and the versatility to do macro shots as well. The only thing holding me back is that every review mentions the horrible AF speed on this lens. What are your experiences? Are there any better options?
First of all...the 60mm is not a true macro lens...even though the moniker is carried in its title. It isn't capable of a 1:1 ratio between the subject and the sensor. Buy the 80mm if you want an actual macro lens.
Well 1:2 is still useful for macro hence I don't find the name of the lens misleading. And as I said in my post above, with an extension tube I'd still be able to surpass 1:1 in FF terms which is more than plenty for the occasional "serious" macro photography
If you put on both Fuji extension tubes 11&16 (you can stack them) you should get 1:1 I believe. Don't quote me...
