The XF90mm Review is up at admiringhlight. From the conclusions:

“The lens focuses quickly and quietly, is brilliantly sharp right from f/2, has beautifully even and smooth bokeh, has virtually zero CA, no distortion and outstanding color and contrast.

I noted the $949 price as a Pro above, and that’s because typically lenses this good cost a fair bit more than this.

It’s hands down the best lens Fuji has created for the X-Series and one of the finest lenses I’ve used for any system. If you like the medium telephoto focal length and shoot Fuji, simply get it.”

And here are more reviews:

FXF member KwyjiboVanDeKamp started a hot & very interesting topic here at the Fuji X Forum. It’s a comparison between lenses with a 135mm (203mm equiv.) focal length. A topic dedicated to those who don’t have the money for the XF 50-140 ;) .

You can see & compare the performance of various 135mm lenses shared by the FXF community here. If you also have some experience with 135mm lenses, feel free to share your findings and images in this thread.

Until now, the discussion (and samples shots) includes the following lenses:

So here is another one, who fell in love with the latest Fujinon lens: Olafphotoblog here! They posted a buntch of images and a list of thoughts about the XF 90mmF2 WR (I’ll share just a few points here on FujiRumors):

• When shooting wide-open, the bokeh is creamy and pleasing to the eye.
• Edge transitions are gorgeous and ceaseless, allowing for dreamy look.
• The micro-contrast is nicely balanced for portraiture work.
• The sharpness is top-notch and on a par with the XF 56mm F1.2 and XF 35mm F1.4.
• Autofocus works much better with the latest update. We played with a face/eye detection function and found it sometimes takes a bit longer than we would like before it locks. We will write more about this in our upcoming posts.
• With Fujifilm’s film simulations, which are tuned to photographing people (beautiful skin tones), the XF 90mm is a great fit.

Admiringlight just published its Fujifilm X-T10 review. Here an excerpt from the conclusions:

“The X-T10 is about 90% of an X-T1 for 61% of the price. […] I think the X-T10 slides ahead of the X-E2 for the role of second fiddle in the Fuji lineup, and it makes the X-E2 frankly hard to recommend at this point unless you really much prefer the rangefinder styling. The X-T1 still has desirable upgrades over the X-T10: it’s weathersealed, has an ISO dial, a much larger viewfinder, better ergonomics and a far deeper buffer for burst shooting, but those differences aside, they two X-T cameras are remarkably similar.

[…] The closest competitor is, of course, Sony’s outstanding A6000 […] I prefer the controls and general operation of the X-T10, and I feel the JPEG output and color response is superior.  The Fuji RAW files can also be pushed far harder in the shadows than those of the A6000 and still hold up.

Surprisingly, I actually think the X-T10 has better autofocus.  The A6000 has better tracking over more of the frame, and it’s the better sports camera due to the deeper buffer, but the X-T10 tracks just as well in the central zone and is superior at locking focus in dim light in single shot situations.”
