Fujinon XF90mm F2 Review by Jared Polin

Recently Jared published his (not so positive) Fujifilm X-H1 review. We have written a response-article to his review, and Jared also replied to our remarks in the comments.

Now the next review is up, and it’s about the Fujinon XF90mmF2, a much-loved lens in the Fuji X community.

Overall a very positive review (who can resist to the Fujinon charm? ;) ), except for one thing: “freaking slow autofocus“.

Here are some points he makes:

Meike Hand Grip

Meike is already offering lots of hand grips for various Fujifilm cameras, including a vertical battery grip for X-T1 and soon also a vertical battery for X-T2, as we told you already last month.

Now Meike added also the Fujifilm X-A5 hand grip, and you can purchase them for example at AmazonUS (coming soon) and AmazonUK (already available).

  • MK-XA5G metal grip is suitable perfect for fujifilm X-A5 camera
  • Improve the comfortable grip
  • The bottom is equipped with 1/4 screw hole, which can be used with 1/4 screw peripheral products
  • Bottom with quick-loading plate chute for quick use with tripod head
  • The handle carries the battery hole, and the battery can be quickly replaced without disassembling the handle

Metal Lens Hoods for Fujifilm

Last month we also reported about new metal lens hoods for Fujifilm cameras. I share again today, in case you missed the news.

JJC has metal lens hood for XF 16mmF1.4 and metal lens hood for XF 23mmF1.4. They cost about half the price of the original metal Fujifilm lens hoods.

The Fuji Guys take a look at the brand new Fujinon XF200mmF2 OIS R WR and Fujinon XF8-16mmF1.8 R WR.

Fujinon X 200mmF2 R WR

  • weather sealed at 17 places
  • barrel made of magnesium allow, outside made of aluminium
  • new 1.4x TC brings it to 427mmF2.8 (35 equiv.), so when you buy the 200mm (which comes bundled with the 1.4x TC) you basically get 2 lenses
  • OIS 5 stops of stabilization. And with X-H1 it will be stabilized in 5 axis
  • 1.8 meters minimum focus distance
  • silver color for heat dissipation and hence better image quality (but FR readers already know this since March :) )
  • You can go to from horizontal to vertical without having to turn the camera itself
  • & more

Fujinon XF 8-16mmF2.8 R WR

  • rectilinear wide-angle lens (no fisheye)
