p.8 #1 · What Fuji GF lenses would you like to see?

I did not read all 7 pages of suggestions, but the only lens I'm missing in the GFX lineup is a true flat-field 1:1 macro. This is why I sold my GFX 100s. I do a lot of reproduction work on a copy stand and no matter what macro lens I tried to adapt, the GFX platform couldn't compete with the Sony A7R with its native E-mount phenomenal Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro Art.
That is a very specific task and the GF mount macro lenses don't lend themselves well to that task, but I do think some adapted lenses can be used effectively. I haven't done it myself, but people have reported good results for that type of work with some of the reproduction lenses that were designed for that task and cover even larger formats. Personally, I very much enjoy the Contax 645 120 f/4 Macro APO lens for macro, but I haven't tried it on a copy stand.
I think it would be great if Fuji made a good at least 1 to 1 macro that could handle this task, but so far, IMO, their macro lenses have been underwhelming.
