Image quality and build quality are superb. Technically, it provides a .5X magnification on the sensor, but since the Fuji X-series cameras are APS-C, and have a 1.5X crop factor, the effective macro magnification is .75X. Other macro lenses I've used achieve their maximum magnification at wide angle (about 18mm). This means that you have to be within an inch of the subject. The combination of the 90mm equivalent focal length and .75X macro power lets you get close-ups of wildlife (like insects and hummingbirds) from 7.5" away, without scaring them off, or casting a shadow on the subject. Because of the long focus range, focusing is a little on the slow side in low light. But with decent contrast, and decent light, it's pretty quick. The filter size is a surprisingly small 39mm.

This is how a lens should be for the mirrorless systems. Small, lightweight, classy feel. Image quality if very good. No complaints there. The only thing keeping me from giving this a 5 star rating is its dismal autofocusing ability. That is the Achilles heel for this lens. The key to getting a little bit more autofocus speed with this lens is to turn the camera's macro mode on when focusing at close distances and to remember to turn the macro mode off when focusing at normal distances. I think it is a good value for 300USD or less. The pathetic autofocusing prevents it from having a higher value.

The lens works great. It takes very sharp pictures and matches up very well to my Fujifilm X-T3.... The lens is very small and is easy to carry around in my camera bag... I recommend this lens for portraits...... Great deal.....

While I like the ergonomics and construction of the X 60mm 2.4 macro lens, it uses slow t-stop glass which means lower light transmission, even wide open, and therefore higher ISO shooting, which can impair image sharpness. The AF also is noisy and somewhat slow as well. Overall 3 1/2 stars. There are better options for Fuji users, in particular the x 80mm 2.8.

Many reviews say it is slow focusing. I downloaded the most recent driver for this lens and the focus speed is very fast and crisp and accurate. Does not have image stabilization thus only 4 star.
