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.”

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.
