A Load of Bokeh

Yes, I probably will want that lens.

At the moment, I'm researching other macro lenses. The fuji X-T1 selects f/stop on the lens itself, much like the pre-digital age. So I've learned that there are adapters made for quite a variety of lens mounts that would allow a lens to be used on fuji's x mount cameras. I'm hoping that I can find a second hand macro lens that will have the aperture selection on the lens, like an old olympus om 50mm f/3.5 macro.

If there is a K adapter, a number of folks are selling their D/FA 100mm 2.8 macros, perhaps in favor of the new WR version (same optics). That's a great macro with a traditional aperture ring- I love mine.

Mine's the Sigma 105mm 1:2,8 DG Macro HSM - is that any good, too? (I like it)

Oh yeah! There are several macros in the 90-105 range that are super sharp with creamy bokeh. Your Sigma and also the Tamron 90mm 2.8 are really great macros.

The fuji X-T1 I've purchased with the bundled 17-55mm lens has arrived. I can't get really close, as I'd been able to with the 60mm macro, but it can capture detail and I can crop.

Nice bokeh from a kit lens.

Not sure if I've got this right... still learning
