Is the fujifilm xf 80mm f 2 8 r lm ois wr macro worth it?

Yes, if you shoot Fujifilm X and want close-up detail, flowers, insects, or small objects. On APS-C it frames like about 120mm on full frame, so you can stay back from skittish subjects and still fill the frame. The Fujifilm XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro is also stabilised, autofocuses, and is weather-resistant, which helps outdoors.

f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/4.2 on that sensor, so it isolates a face nicely from a distance but won't give the dreamy blur of a fast 85mm. It fits a long list of X bodies, from the X-E1 to the X-E5.

If you mostly want everyday or travel shots, a shorter lens will be more useful. The Portraits guide explains why focal length matters for people, and Travel covers the one-camera options.
