What is the fujifilm xf 60mm f 2 4 r macro good for?

The Fujifilm XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro is a half-life-size macro lens for APS-C Fujifilm X cameras, and it doubles as a short portrait lens. On APS-C it frames like a 90mm on full frame, and f/2.4 gives about the depth of field of f/3.6 there. The catch is that it's slow to focus and has no stabilisation, so it suits careful, deliberate shooting more than fast action.

It's a good fit for close-up work on flowers, insects and small objects, and for tight portraits where you want room between you and your subject. The Portraits guide explains why a longer lens flatters faces. If you're weighing it up against other options, the sensor sizes guide covers what a crop sensor costs you in depth of field and size.
