Review on πŸ“· Fujinon GF120mm F4 R LM OIS WR Macro Camera Lens with Improved SEO by Darian Massey

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Lack of angular sharpness at 0.5x magnification - imo not a macro lens

So this lens does not have a flat field of view and angular sharpness at 0.5x magnification. I loved this lens and the Fuji GFX100. I'm a professional macro photographer who needs a detail resolution of at least 100Β΅m (more if I can get 2-5x). The lens (like the Canon 100l or the mpe 65mm) lacked sharpness in the corners. In the end, Fuji engineers told me that they made compromises to make this lens a good all-rounder and therefore lack corner sharpness at the closest working distance. They even sent me an extra camera body and a Novaflex mech with a 90mm flat-field lens to test, but unfortunately I need a 1-5x solution, which isn't it. If your shooting standard could be ok but you need 0.5x-1x flat field sharpness I would consider another option. Buyer Warning.
