Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought the XT3 as my first “real” camera (not including phone cameras). The moment I saw this lens I knew I had to have it because I really want to get into macro photography. Mainly interested in photographing plants and insects. It does AMAZING and it will not disappoint. In the short time I have owned the Fuji XT3 camera and used this lens I have photographed sea shells & flowers. Besides Macro, it works well as a medium range telephoto lens and a decent portrait lens as well. You will be using a switch on its side that allows you to preset whether you will be focusing .25 meters to .5 meters, full focus range, and can’t recall third option. Using this allows the lens to autofocus faster without so much “hunting” for focus. Understand that Macro photography is a niche market. So this may not be for you. But if you do have an interest in taking close up macro photography then go ahead and buy this lens. You will not be disappointed and you will end up using it for some portraits and medium range telephoto. I researched this lens on Amazon but ended up buying through BestBuy online due to the longer 0% financing. Will include some samples pictures. Since BestBuy only allows 5mb and maximum of 2 pictures uploaded for review I had no choice but to run the picture through editor to dumb it down to small enough size. Hope I can still convey to you through these two images how good the lens is.

No manual focus clutch, super noisy optical image stabilization (sounds like a coffee maker). Beautiful image quality.
