Today we’ve got one for all the Fujifilm lovers out there, especially those of you interested in macro photography. Watch as we join Andrew, from Deane & Andrew – a husband and wife photography team on YouTube, for a little hands-on review of the Fujifilm 80mm f/2.8 Macro Lens.

The Fujifilm XF 80mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR Macro Lens is a short telephoto macro lens for Fujifilm’s X-series mirrorless cameras. The lens features a life-size 1.0x magnification factor, as well as a very short minimum focus distance of 25cm. Other standout features of the lens include a powerful 5-stop image stabilisation system, weather sealing, and an array of special optical elements.

Let’s see what Andrew thought of the lens after having it for a few days. Naturally, he shares some macro specific sample images, as well as a few portraits just to get an idea how this lens would perform as a portrait lens option. Let’s take a look…
