7artisans60mm F2.8 APS-C Macro Fixed Lens for Fujifilm Fuji Cameras Like X-A1 X-A2 X-AT X-M1 XM2 X-T1 X-T2 X-T10 X-Pro1 X-E1 X-E2

Heavy metal construction. Built like a tank. Razor-sharp macro performance. I've used it for film scanning and toy photography. Results are so good I'll probably never upgrade. The $139 price I paid was unbelievably low.~~~~~~After I bought this lens, I was briefly disappointed to discover I had bought version 1 when I thought I was getting version 2. However, the two versions perform identically in terms of image quality, although the internal lens layout is not the same. The practical difference is as follows: When focusing very close, version 1's lens extends beyond the front of the housing (this is no problem for me). Version 2's movement while focusing is completely internal - it never protrudes from the front of the housing. However, version 1 allows closer focusing than version 2, so I'm glad I got the first version.

its very solid.. made of aluminum doesn't feel cheap.. i like the design looks very good on my camera.. plus the quality is superb.. really love it the price and design quality.. is more than what you pay for.. awesome lens.. i give it a 5.5 over 5

Build quality is excellent. Image quality/sharpness are great and as you can see in the second photo it has nice bokeh. Caps are not great; the front one pops off easy and the rear one is not tight. No big deal though.

Fuji X mount users have a limited selection of 1:1 capable macro lenses. While Fuji's own 80mm is excellent, it's also very expensive. That's where this 7Artisans 60mm macro comes in. Yes, it's fully manual, but provides good image quality for general macro use and, considering its price, is a good value option for the X series.My only complaint, and the reason for losing one star, is the filter threads are poorly designed. The tolerance of the threads are not very tight. This causes a screwed in filter to pop out if tightened beyond a certain point, even with very light pressure. This wouldn't be too bad if it weren't a macro lens, but it is. Many macro shooters utilize ring lights that attach to the filter threads. In this case, the poorly fitting lens filter threads make it easy for the ring light to pop off. This can be very annoying.UPDATE 2019/08/30:The aforementioned sloppy filter threads got so bad that the attached filter, along with the macro ring light, kept falling off with nothing but gravity pulling on it. I had to resort to using Gorilla Tape to secure the filter, and thus the macro ring light, to the lens. Again, this lens is very affordable, but it appears that comes at the expense of build quality. Had the tape on for a few days now and holding well so far. Disappointed I had to resort to this on a brand new lens, but, as long as it holds on, it's usable. Thankfully the image quality of the macro pictures taken with the lens have been very good, so at least it performs its core job duty well.

Absolutely awesome lens, seriously great deal! Nicely balanced with my xpro3, and the all metal build matches up well too. I loved my old 60mm Macro back when shooting with Nikon and this lens is every bit as good as my old D series, which cost at least twice as much. Yields warmer and more contrasty results than my Fuji 16mm or 7Artisans 35mm, but if you know to expect that it's easy to work with. Loving all my shots with this lens so far.Only fault: lens cap is an awkward fit an looks sinfully ugly. But, easily replaced so I'll still give this lens a thoroughly well deserved 5!
