I'm seriously considering selling my Nikon 7100 and 105mm which I had planned to keep for macro/bokeh/floral stuff when I got the XT2. If either the 90mm or the 60mm can pair with the XT2 for that type of shot, I'm going to go totally mirrorless and leave Nikon behind.
I'm looking for a combo that can take nice portraits and also nice "macro" type shots - not super bug hairs showing macro but more like this:

Anyone using either the 60mm or the 90mm with the XT2? Or have both and can offer a comparison? I know the 60mm had some knocks against it for AF speed but with the XT2 I'm thinking that won't be as big of an issue? I'd just go with the 90mm for it's longer reach and wider aperture but not sure if it's going to fill my macro needs... It's a 1:2 where the 60mm is a 1:2.4. I'm leaning toward the 60mm but don't want to get it then lose money on a trade a few months later when I decide I need to "upgrade" to the 90...
