So as a result, I never know if I have already reached the minimum possible distance or not. But the closer you are to the minimum distance, the slower the scale changes.
#IRIDIENT X TRANSFORMER CONFIGURATION MANUAL#
The only manual focusing aid in case of Fujifilm X is the focusing scale, shown on the body screen. AF-S Nikkor lenses also allow for turning the focusing ring around, but at one place there is a clear change in moving resistance clearly showing the end of focusing range. You can turn the focusing ring indefinitely never reaching any kind of the stop or change in resistance telling you, that you are done. And thus there is no hard stop at either end of the focusing range. Moving the focusing ring we don’t move physical parts, instead we send commands to the motor. But… where is the closest focusing distance on this lens?! The problem is that in fact manual focusing means in case of XF 80mm Macro electrical focusing by wire. So first I set the focus manually at the minimum possible distance and then put the body with lens on focusing rail. But very often I look for maximum magnification.
And it is matter of fact, that the manual focusing ring works smooth like charm. How do you set focus in real macro? Very often (most of the time, I would say) manually. But there are two serious drawbacks I discovered now.įirst issue. Everything works and moves smoothly, with nice and comfortable resistance.īut immediately also some disappointment. We were waiting long time, new dates and deadlines suggested by oracles were passing, and finally it is! So long promised and even longer awaited real macro lens for Fujifilm X! Fujinon XF 80mm F/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macroįirst impressions? Well, solid. Initially rumors were about 120mm, but soon it turned out to be 80mm more probable. Suddenly, Fujifilm management promised a real macro lens. Because of that, the macro photographers either didn’t take Fujifilm X into account, or, like me, used third party lenses with converters, like AF Micro Nikkor 200mm f/4. Then one half of the macro lens has appeared, namely XF 60mm with reproduction ratio of just 1:2. At the beginning, there was no macro lens for Fujifilm X.
