WR Macro for Fujifilm X Series cameras,
produces 1x magnification. The two others
are 0.5x magnification, or half life size.
These are the FUJINON XF60mmF2.4
R Macro for X Series cameras and the
FUJINON GF120mmF4 R LM OIS WR
Macro for the company’s GFX medium-

format system.

Nikon has an extensive collection

of macro lenses. Although it hasn’t

yet introduced a macro lens for its Z

series full-frame mirrorless cameras, a

lens “roadmap” released last fall indi-

cates two macro lenses are planned for

the system. In the meantime, Z series

shooters can use one of the existing full-

frame DSLR lenses via an adapter. The

AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G

IF-ED is a great choice with a comfort-

able 12-inch minimum working distance

and image stabilization.

For its OM-D and PEN series cameras,

Olympus offers two macro options in the

M.Zuiko lens line, a 30mm and a 60mm,

with equivalent focal lengths of 60mm

and 120mm, respectively. The Olympus

M.Zuiko ED 60mm f2.8 Macro features

sealing to protect against dust and wet

weather and a minimum focusing dis-

tance of 7.5 inches.

Panasonic offers only one macro

lens, the Panasonic Leica DG Mac-

ro-Elmarit 45mm F2.8 ASPH MEGA

O.I.S., with a minimum focusing dis-

tance of 6 inches. Panasonic shares the

Micro Four Thirds format with Olym-

pus, so you can also choose one of the

Olympus lenses if you’d like a wider

or longer focal length.

Two 1:1 macro lenses are avail-

able from Sigma, the 70mm F2.8 DG

MACRO | A and the 105mm F2.8 EX

DG OS HSM Macro. The 70mm is avail-

able for Canon, Sigma, Sony E-mount

and the new L-Mount designed in part-

nership with Leica and Panasonic. The

105mm is offered in Canon and Nikon

mount models.

There are six macro lenses in Sony’s

range, three for A-mount cameras like the

a99 II and three for E-mount cameras,

including the a7 series and a6600. For

E-mount, the 50mm and 90mm can be

used with full-frame and ASP-C sensor

cameras, while the 30mm is for APS-C

only. In the A-mount line, the 50mm and

100mm are full-frame, and the 30mm is

for older APS-C cameras like the a77 II.

Tamron currently offers two macro

lenses, the SP 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO

1:1 VC USD for Canon and Nikon full-

frame cameras, and the SP AF60mm

F/2 Di II LD [IF] MACRO 1:1 for

APS-C sensor Canon, Nikon and Sony

E-mount cameras.

Tokina also has two macro lenses, the

FiRIN 100mm F2.8 for Sony E-mount

full-frame and the atx-i 100mm F2.8

Macro FF for full-frame Canon and

Nikon cameras. OP
