According to our camera lens expert
With the Fujifilm XF 80mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro you can make nature, animal and macro photos. The lens is equipped with dust, frost and water resistant seals. That way you photograph in nature, even when it rains. You focus at a distance of 25 centimeters from your subject. This way you can clearly visualize the smallest details. In combination with the 1: 1 magnification of the lens, for example, you capture small insects life-size. You even see the hairs of a fly that are not visible to the naked eye. Thanks to the image stabilization, motion blur is reduced. You thereby shoot out of hand with slower shutter speeds. The large maximum aperture makes the lens bright. This ensures that you photograph in dark locations.

I hesitated for some time between the 90mm and 80mm from Fuji. Ultimately went for the 80mm, because in addition to macro, this lens is also suitable for portraits and the 90mm does not have both functions. That the 80mm is all-round is apparent from the fact that 9 out of 10 reviews or sample photos of the 80mm are landscapes, portraits or street. That's possible too. The macro function is unparalleled and razor-sharp. You are literally focusing at the end of your lens hood.
The lens feels fantastic, is solidly built (like all Fuji's) and has nice, wide rubbers. The lens is incredibly sharp. Beautiful colors and details. At weddings, you can easily see the engravings in the ring in sharp focus, just like the diamond or other jewelry. You also isolate that one flower or decoration. The lens is also extremely suitable for portraits. Nice bokeh - but a little less dreamy than 90mm or 56mm. However, the sharpness of this lens sometimes turns against you: you really see all the details and lines of a face. The lines are harder than, for example, with the 56mm, but it can be made softer in post-processing if necessary. Incidentally, this is especially noticeable in people with a drawing face, such as grandparents at the wedding. Every line/wrinkle literally pops out and every color difference in face can be seen. Perhaps a luxury problem (a lens that can be too sharp).
The IOS is also handy and taking a photo or video by hand works more than fine, even in low light. Despite the weight, you can shoot out of hand, even at 2.8.
By the way, I use the lens 90% for video. Lens focuses quickly, is quiet and gives amazing colors. Well balanced on the X-H1, but the lens does weigh a bit. Keep this in mind. The only drawback is the manual focus. If you are further from your object, you sometimes turn a few circles before you see the result in focus. In itself, this is not a disadvantage because the autofocus is always spot on and very fast. This lens also has the familiar sounds when you turn the lens, as if the interior is loose and rotates/tilts. This is how it should be and you can know it from the 50-140mm.
I absolutely recommend this lens. The Macro is absolutely unprecedented. Previously worked with other brands, but what Fuji shows here is really standalone. If you hardly use macro, aim your arrows at the cheaper 90mm.
Oh yes, I am also more than satisfied with Coolblue's service. 14:59 I ordered and 19:00 I had the lens at home. Kept well informed by email of all progress. Overall happy with it!
