Forums > Back > Zeiss Macro Lens ?

You can find some sample images here (shot with the X-Pro 1, though, not the X-T30):

I like the rendering of the Zeiss lens, but it is definitely a typical Zeiss lens, meaning high contrast combined with high vignetting. And sometimes terrible flare. I'd consider it to be a good choice to cover both portraits and occasional macro shots with a single lens. But if you're primarily want to shoot macros, its focal length might be a bit short, as David already pointed out.

Unfortunately, there aren't too many options of macro AF lenses with X-mount, only 3, to be precise: there's the Zeiss, with the shortest focal length. Then there is the XF 60/2.4, which is sharper than the Zeiss, but feels a bit outdated with its old-style AF drive and it only offers 1:2 magnification. And of course the XF 80/2.8, which optically is no doubt better than the other two, but unfortunately also quite big and heavy.
