Hi pictograph

I see many of your points but personally, I definitely do not agree with this one:

with Macro 1:2 (which is enough for 99,9% of Macro Photography) ,

This is why I would not buy the XF 60 mm. I need at least 1:1 for my insects and flower details. 2:1 is perfect.

So I decided for the Laowa 65 mm f/2.8 APO 2:1. Very happy with it. But of course it is a manual lens, so it is not a direct competitor to the XF 60 mm.

I also have the Laowa 2.5:1-5:1 but it is nearly useless without taking the effort of stacking. Definitely a very special lens I use very rarely.

BR,

Martin
