Very nice channel (yes, I subscribed), today I ordered the XF80 from KEH (used obviously) in “Excellent +” condition, after I play with it for a while I’ll report back. Be well and stay safe.

Thank you! I appreciate that. Made my day.

Hi Todd just came across this excellent video. I’ve been using the old Fuji 60mm 1:2 macro 2.8 for years but now that I’m doing mostly product I’ve ordered the bigger Fuji full macro 80mm and was wondering how it performed at F22 Any diffraction?

Thanks for watching and for the question. I can't answer that question with full confidence. Honestly, I rented it for this video and I don't know that I shot it at f22. That being said, I have also ordered it and will have it in my bag full time very soon. I loved the lens for the most part and saw no issues with the images I produced. As a product photographer I think I would be comfortable shoot at 22 but I am not sure about diffraction or any problems at that f-stop. I will be trying it as soon as my lens comes in!

Another cool video showing how you set your shoot up. Very much enjoyed it! Question: On the last group shot, you had something like a black polished flat stone or marble or plastic on the left side ...... what was it? I assume it was to bounce light? How does it differ from a mirror or white piece of cardboard? Thanks!

It was actually a piece of foam board that was black on one side. It was blocking some of the main light because it was a little too bright to the camera’s left of the product. Much the same as what the glasses do but solid.

I found Used 90MM F2 Lens. can I use this lens for product photography? Or Laowa 65 MM Macro ?

The 90mm is a really neat lens. I have not used it much but have played with it. I would think it would make a good product lens but its one drawback is that it probably doesn't focus super close. So, if you are shooting small products you may have an issue. The Laowa could do the closer shots for sure.
