Is the fujifilm xf 60mm f 2 4 r macro good for portraits?

Yes, with a caveat. On APS-C it frames like a 90mm on full frame, which is a flattering focal length for faces because you stand further back. At f/2.4 it gives roughly the depth of field of f/3.6, so backgrounds blur nicely at close range.

The catch is that I describe it as slow to focus, which matters if your subject moves. It also has no stabilisation, so use a fast shutter speed for handheld shots. For posed portraits, it's a good choice. For kids or anyone who won't keep still, look at a faster-focusing option. The portraits guide explains why focal length matters more than the body.
