Simply offering an example.  It is Petasites japonicus, an invasive alien plant naturalised in mid Cumbria

People have asked on here about the Zeiss lenses on the new sensor and this is the only one I have

Looks great. Is this SOOC or processed?

Who would think a macro lens isn’t going to work on a 40mp sensor? It’s really the last type of lens I’d worry about… and I don’t worry about lenses vs sensors at all. But a macro?

It the camera jpg. Converting the raw and sharpening it a little (Topaz AI) makes it a little better. Brushing out the two prominent brown stems helps too!

Re: Zeiss Macro on 40Mpix sensor

You are right, the Tamron 18-300mm at 300mm gives excellent results same for my Viltrox 85mm f1.8 Mk I, though they are not on the list of "accredited" lenses by Fuji

Since this sensor is not forgiving average settings and practice, exposure and focus have to  be done with care.

As I said, people were asking about Zeiss lenses and this is the one I've got. Looking at the image I find it remarkable what modern gear will manage.

Edit:  Not a lot of preparation, just hopped out of the car and took it.  IBIS is fantastic.
