Ok, don’t blame me for another fantastic review… I just report here on Fujirumors what reviewers/photographers all over the web think about this lens.

1) This time it’s photographyblog, that published its full XF50-140 review. “Stellar IQ, quick & quite AF […] with very little hunting even in low-light, fantastic sharpness, lovely bokeh“… these are the things they really love about  “the best zoom lens that Fuji has produced so far.” (© Rico Pfirstinger. In case you missed it, read his First Look at the 50-140 f/2.8 here!”

At the end it gets 5 stars for its IQ, but overall “just” 4.5 stars. On the negative site:

– It’s the biggest and heaviest XF lens “although if you compare it [admin: camera + lens] to the Canon or Nikon equivalent, it’s about 40% lighter and smaller overall.”
– “the lens barrel is mainly made of high-grade plastics, rather than being metal – still, it does at least help to keep the weight down.”
– “The tripod mount is rather awkwardly attached to the lens via two smaller captive thumsbcrews – we say awkwardly, because while removing the mount was easy, it was incredibly difficult to re-attach it again“

2) Fujifilm also updated the official XF 50-140 sample page with some action shots at a motorbike race shot by Jacky Ley. See the new samples here at Fuji’s site.
