The type of photography that you are planning to use is an important decision factor. Here we have evaluated the Canon RF 85mm F2 Macro IS STM and the Fujifilm 60mm F2.4 R Macro for their suitability to various photography scenarios:
Size and Weight Comparison
The size of a lens is a crucial factor to consider when comparing two lenses. Canon RF 85mm F2 Macro IS STM is the longer of the two lenses at 91mm. The Fujifilm 60mm F2.4 R Macro with a length of 71mm, is 20mm shorter. Besides being longer, the Canon RF 85mm F2 Macro IS STM also has a larger diameter of 78mm compared to the Fujifilm 60mm F2.4 R Macro's 64mm diameter.
The weight of a lens is equally significant as its external dimensions, particularly if you intend to handhold your camera and lens combination for extended periods. Fujifilm 60mm F2.4 R Macro weighs 215g, 57% (285g) lighter than the Canon RF 85mm F2 Macro IS STM's weight of 500g.
