FUJIFILM XF 60mm f/2.4 R Prime Lens

This Fuji XF 60mm f/2.4 is an aspherical 90mm-equivalant macro lens with superior optical performance. This lightweight all-metal lens has no visible distortion, focuses super-close, is super-sharp right out to the edges at f/2.4, has no lateral color fringes, has no visible light falloff even at f/2.4 and has superb bokeh ? and it focuses so close that a subject 31 x 47mm (about an inch tall) fills your screen. This Fujinon XF 60/2.4 has all engraved markings and electronic auto and manual focus controlled by the camera. Most of the lens is a big, fat manual-focus ring. The manual focus ring works slowly and precisely, which is better than the XF 18mm f/2 and XF 35mm f/1.4, whose manual focus rings are useless. Who cares: the camera provides immediate manual focus, complete with magnification, with the tap of a button. The XF 60 also has an electronic diaphragm, set the 1/3-stop clicks of its real aperture ring. It’s a funny lens, with a smaller snout that pokes out from the rest of the lens as focused more closely. Unlike the XF 18mm f/2 and XF 35mm f/1.4 that have 52mm filter threads, this 60 XF has LEICA-standard 39mm filter threads. Compared to the comparable LEICA MACRO-ELMAR-M 90mm f/4, this Fujinon lens has the same filter size, weighs less, is a stop-and-a-half faster, and most importantly, provides through-the-lens viewing, composition and focus, while the primitive LEICA system and LEICA M9 expect us to try to do macro looking through a viewfinder window a few inches away from the lens!
